D'Addario NYL043W Single Guitar String

Silver-Plated Copper Classical Guitar Single String

The D'Addario NYL043W is a single classical guitar string from the Specialty Singles line, wound with silver-plated copper over a nylon core. This construction delivers the warm, projecting tone that classical and flamenco players expect from quality bass strings, while the silver plating helps the winding resist corrosion and hold its character over time. At .043" gauge, it serves as a direct replacement for a worn string on a standard classical guitar, or as a building block for custom sets on multi-string instruments. Sold individually, it lets players replace just the broken or worn string without buying a full set.

Who It's For

The NYL043W is the right choice for classical and flamenco guitarists who need a reliable replacement bass string without purchasing a full set. It also suits players of multi-string classical instruments — 7-string, 8-string, or 10-string guitars — who need specific gauges to build custom sets for extended-range or alternate tunings. The silver-plated copper winding produces a warm tone with good projection, fitting solo classical repertoire, flamenco arrangements, and ensemble playing where bass clarity matters. Beginners replacing a broken string will find the individual format convenient, while experienced players appreciate the consistency D'Addario maintains across its specialty singles line.
