I've done most of my recording recently with nylgut strings (except on the fourth string). Here's a sampling. The first one includes both my Mac Traynham Whyte Laydie openback and the Gold Tone cello banjo, which also has nylgut strings. I like their more mellow sound.

Here is an example. The banjo has an 11.5" rim, 26" scale, fretted, and medium Nylguts tuned to double D (no capo). I really like the new medium Nylguts. I had them tuned up to double D for over six months with no issues. And I love the sound.

Bart Reiter White Laydie, 26 1/4" scale. New Nylgut Classic (Cream-colored with a red 4th string). gDGBD tuning.
BTW, I regularly tune these up to A or double D. No problem. No nut modification, though I found that the slots in my Kat Eyz bridge were too shallow. Rather than carve on the fine bridge, I switched to a Moon. Worked like a dream.

I haven't recorded anything with all Nylgut strings tuned up, but this Snowdrop has the first string tuned up to E. At least you can hear what that one sounds like.
