There are several types of strings : gut ( period instruments ) , nylon, nickel , bronze, copper and sometimes covered in gold or silicone to minimize oxidation due to sweat. Electric guitars need strings magnetic metal alloy (iron, nickel) , essential for the functioning of their microphones . The metal strings are also used for acoustic guitars, they produce a louder sound at a higher price taking , with a distinctly different sound . Finally the ropes silicone are mainly used on non- electric guitars and are appreciated for their ease of playing , especially for the right hand without pick.


The strings have characteristics of flexibility and different resonance depending on the material used. The choice of strings is fundamental to the quality of sound as for the pleasure of the game: the nylon strings do indeed produce a warmer sound (that is to say, focusing on low- medium frequency ) and metal strings , which are sound and produce a brighter sound ( favoring high frequencies ) , and are less elastic , so that the deviation of the string with the finger ( left hand) causes a deviation score higher. This gap is normally compensated nut .


Metal wound strings are distinguished by the type of wire that covers : the " flat spun " in general have a more neutral and dull her the " round wound " brightest and offer different feeling very soft game instrumentalist .
