Can I mix a flourocarbon G string with a nylon string set?

wickedwahine11 · May 18, 2009

Is it possible to use a Fremont Flourocarbon low g string with a set of Hilo nylon strings (the C, E and A strings)? I have the Hilo set on, but rather than switch all four strings, I was wondering if it was possible just to switch the G string over. Has anyone has ever mixed one flourocarbon with a set of nylon strings? Or is that not possible due to string tension issues/playability issues?

I have heard of people doing all kinds of string mixes to get a sound and feel they like. Shouldn't hurt to try.

Yes, it's definitely not going to hurt anything. The only issue might be a change in tone from string to string. Go for it!

Yes u can!
No issues with me!

Who's gonna stop you mixing 'em however you like?

I might have to do something similar myself to solve my boomy G problem...

There are no rules to this stuff! Do what you want!

Well, there is one rule -- you have to tell us how it turns out!

Yeah I wouldn't think it would make a difference in pressure or whatever. Go for it but like Ukeatan said tell us what you think!!!
