D'Addario NYL024 Single Guitar String

Rectified Nylon Single String for Classical Guitar

The D'Addario NYL024 is a single rectified nylon string designed for the D string position on a classical guitar. Rectified nylon goes through a precision grinding process that removes inconsistencies from the extruded nylon blank, producing a string with more uniform diameter and smoother tension response under the fingers. This results in improved intonation accuracy across the fretboard compared to standard extruded nylon. At .024" gauge, it matches the standard D string tension found on most classical guitars, making it a straightforward replacement when a single string wears out or breaks.

Who This String Is For

The NYL024 suits classical guitarists who need to replace a single D string without purchasing a full set. It works well for students maintaining a school instrument, hobbyists who want to keep their current setup, and performing players who break a string mid-season and need a quick match. Rectified nylon construction appeals to players who prefer the traditional warm, rounded tone of nylon over brighter fluorocarbon alternatives. Tie-end installation requires knotting at the bridge block, so this string fits traditional classical guitars rather than instruments with pin-style bridges.
