The Royal Classics CNL40 JG Carbon Nylon is a high tension set from RC's JG series, developed with concert soloists. It uses a crystal nylon first string with Carbon-X second and third strings over medium-high tension silver-plated basses. The idea is to keep the sweetness of a nylon E while giving the B and especially the G the clarity and sustain of carbon, which fixes the weak third string that plagues all-nylon sets. A thoughtful hybrid at a fair price.
Royal Classics (RC Strings) is made in Spain and offers both traditional and modern sets at prices well below the big European names. The DC10 uses carbon on all three trebles; the TTC30 uses titanium nylon on the E and B.
New set JG created by important soloists. It combines medium-high tension basses with the 2nd and 3rd string made of Carbon-X and the 1st string made of Crystal (Nylon).
