Will it work with nylon strings
646821
I don't use nylon strings but I don't see why it wouldn't work. It fits in the whole and cable hangs out. It picks up on the tone made by the guitar/you. I would think it would work just fine.

Not sure about that... The sound hole on my nylon string guitar is a bit small for the pickup. I did try to see if would fit if I took the strings off and got at it that way, but that was all to no avail as the last time I used the pickup I stood on the cord when I stood up and it has broken the lead (the way the cord hangs from such pickups is a bit of a problem, I think) - so at the moment nothing works! However, the manual says: "We recommend you string your guitar with bronze or phosphor bronze strings to achieve the best response from the pickup."

I don't see why not. Whether the string is nylon or metal, it still produces vibrations that are magnified by the pickup. I use metal strings on my guitar, but I believe nylon strings would be fine.

I'm not 100% positive but I think this is a magnetic pick up and I don't think it will work with nylon strings.

I use mine on a 5 string. It attaches to the bridge. I don't see why it wouldn't work on a 4 string.

It worked on an Ovation 6 string that's all I know for sure you must have a Bridge that accepts the unit. It has 6 actual little metallic blocks that correspond to each string don't thinl it would work on an 8 string. I guess I've never seen an 8 string but I don't think it would work?

I did and it worked fine with light tension, but it says not to. I'd suggest buying aquila guilele strings

Bought this as a gift for my brother, so here is his resply to your question: It won't work on nylon strings, on an acoustic steel string guitar it will work at about 10%, you need the feedback on the pickups on an electric guitar to really get the effect of the ebow. It essentially makes the string vibrate at a high frequency and that frequency and sound then makes a "reverse" or sustained reverse sound of the note and or sequence of notes you are playing.Granted I am SLOWLY learning how to use mine, but as far as I am aware, it will not do anything on nylon strings, and even the "metal" coated E,A,D strings will give little to no real reflection of the ebow.

Yes it works well on a guitar, mandolin, and banjo so i think it would work fine on a violin.

Not sure on the brand of strings, but the lower three are metallic, top three are nylon.

Yes. I can't promise it will pickup the nylon's the way they are meant to be heard but it will work. I believe I saw an LR Baggs specifically made for nylon, though. It was even in the title.

Yes. It has enough width and tension to work with a twelve string guitar. I used it on a Gibson twelve string and it was no problem. There is really only slightly more than an three sixteenths of an inch or less needed to accommodate the width of a twelve string as opposed to a six string neck width. The extra tension would be the major issue and this Capo has enough tension for that.

Yes! I have used it with my acoustic guitar and classical guitar with nylon strings. Feedback may occur when near an open mic or speaker...however, audio and quality is pretty good.

Short answer - yes. I've had mine for about a year. I have used it with nylon strings on a traditional classic style guitar and at the other end of the spectrum, D'Addario Light gauge .012 - .053 bronze on a Dobro and on a National Resonator baritone with a .068 bass string. I'm about to order another so I can keep one in each case. It has become my favorite capo, bar none, and I have had no problems with it. It is infinitely adjustable, clamping down to whatever amount of pressure you squeeze it to. When not in use, I often clamp it to the boom of my microphone stand.

Absolutely. You only want to put nylon strings on a classical. This set is excellent, by the way. They will be a little harder to install, but I think there are instructions in this set, or just look around the internet for instructions to show you how. They don't have a little "ball" on the end like regular guitar strings. You have to do a special "knot" on the bridge of the guitar. Don't worry, its "knot" as complicated as it sounds :) Happy playing!

I use it on guitars but it is supposed to be multi-instrumental. You will have to know what you want your strings tuned to.

This is a classical guitar so yes it has nylon strings. There is no maintenance manual with order. You can replace these strings with any other nylon strings you like. You should not replace with steel strings. This guitar needs an amplifier for the sound. There is no sound hole and must be amplified. Hope this helps with your decision.

It's the same scale length as a guitar with a capo on the 7th fret but tuned to the 5th fret. Standard nylon strings will work fine, but give a slightly easier feel on the frets. High tension strings might be closer to standard tension, but would be harder to fret. It looks close enough to be a personal choice either way.I have large hands with think fingers and can play instruments down to a 14 inch scale, so the size should be no problem.

No, nylon strings will not work on this guitar. The nut slots are cut for steel strings and the guitar is designed and braced for steel strings. While you could install nylon strings, they would not vibrate the top sufficiently to sound good. If you want a nylon string guitar there are plenty of inexpensive classical guitars available. Those will be designed to sound good with nylon strings.

Should...can't say for certain. It does work quite well, a snap to replace cutting string
