For ânylonâ strings, manufacturers typically use polymers comprised of amide functional groups such as aliphatic polyamides (including Nylon 6 and Nylon 66), and polymers comprised of ketone functional groups such as Zyex (AKA polyetheretherketone, or PEEK).
Most lute strings have traditionally been made of animal intestines (gut), metal, or silk, though nylon has become a common replacement for gut. Whatever the material, each string must be of equal thickness throughout its length. Some lutes have only a single string, but the great majority have three, four, or more. Very often there are sets, or courses, of two strings to a pitch, so that an instrument that produces four pitches with open strings actually has eight strings arranged in pairs.
