Do nylguts wear out ?

From japus on 2/19/2013 6:17:04 PM

I have nylguts on for 2 years, my hearing cannot tell me if their sounding different over the years. Should they be replace as steel strings are ?

you will probably get a lot of different opinions on this...I found the all nylgut set that Aquilla makes and I leave em on for years...I do not hear any tone degrading at all

Thats what I'm using, had Bart Veerman make me up a bridge specifically for those size strings and it's still doing well.
Just wasn't sure about their longevity
