I've been a musician for my entire life. Even with Perfect Pitch, it was difficult for me to hear the difference between these strings. Not because they all sounded the same, but because your background music was getting in the way - Big Time.

@usernamemykel Год назад

Agreed - there was no need for the background music, and it interfered with the purpose of gthe vid.

@JacintoshPLUS 6 месяцев назад

@Ezio214 Год назад

The Worth strings are the best IMO. That's what I use on all my Ukes. The other ones sound too "plastic-y."

I have a koa Kanile'a tenor that I have taken to mad scientist level. I wasn't happy with the tone any single set was giving. After mixing and matching, my favorite tone comes from: Aquila Super Nylgut tenor A and E. The wrapped C string from a GHS Tenor set. Aquila Red low G. Everything comes out balanced and full. Really gets the air moving

@rferrers7 2 года назад

It depends what your uke needs to compensate. I mean, a sweet wood perhaps wants an extraclear strings (fluorocarbon); if your uke has spruce top, so clear, perhaps I'll go to a midrange sounding strings (nylgut)

@3D1ofakind 2 года назад

If anyone wants to look into certain wood and string combinations too, there's a few pretty good videos if you search for it. Aquila strings have an old characteristic that makes them my choice, but I do find it weird that most ukes ship with them (as they stray away from the classic nylon sounding uke). All a matter of opinion on this one; do you want depth, clarity or projection? or maybe slight combinations of both? Research and look into what you like, it could always just be the wood used.

@dawsonb5569 Год назад

Ok...you sold me on the fluorocarbon worth strings. Thank you!!

@hobbycow5346 Год назад

IMO Aquilas come on so many ukes because they are thicker with higher tension which might mask any defects in the instrument. That said, I like Nylguts on laminated ukes, but I just replaced FL strings on a solid koa with Nylguts to improve intonation. Intonation was much improved, but the Aquilas have this plasticky “tick” to them when you pluck or strum them. It made my solid koa sound like a $50 laminate. I have D’Addario FL’s on the way and replacing them back on. The Fl’s had such a warm round tone and made the uke easier to play with softer action. I think the uke had a different brand of FC’s originally, so hoping the D’Addarios don’t have intonation issues. By issues, I mean every fretted note with the FL’s was badly sharp. But even stranger, I would watch a resting string go sharp as measured by my Fender tuner! How does a sitting string go SHARP?!?! My plan now is to put FL’s on all my solid woods and keep Nylguts on the laminates, with one or two ukes fitted with low G for the songs that need it.

@SH1974 2 года назад

I recently received a cheap Harley Benton (UK-12 Satin Ash NT) that looks nice, but sounded terrible. Read some customer comments and one customer advised to put real strings on. Had a set D'addario "Super Nylgut" here and put them on. Whow, what a difference! Didn't expect such a huge difference in Sound quality and sustain. Got 2 Ortaga Ukes (Solid Acacia and solid Bamboo), they're stock stringed with Aguila Nylgut and I'm content with them. In Your comparssion I don't hear much difference between the strings, not even with headphones on. There of course is some difference, but according to the sound only, I could not define which I find best. They all sound good. Certainly the difference how they behave in play (tension/"hardness") would be a more important factor to choose. Btw: what's the melody (chord Progression) You play on 2:50? Sounds nice, reminds me to Sugar Ray's "Spinning away".

@BlessYourHeart254 2 года назад

I’m partial to Aquila reds, but it can depends on the uke. I also like Worth browns.

@Ukelikethepros 2 года назад

Cool, the reds are great.

@jadenhazelman319 Год назад

I use clear nylon monofilament as a low g string on my tenor uke in combination with the stock nylgut strings and it has an awesome extra bassy tone and adds more volume in my opinion

@necurrence1776 Год назад

As a guitar player I'm biased towards the D'Addario, it's almost like they chime. However, the Aquila strings sound more faithful to a real Ukulele. So I still don't know what strings to put on my brother's ukulele, the stock ones get out of tune really quick and they just don't sing to my ears at all.

1: new nylgut (warmth and high tension, as I'm a resonator guitar player) 2: Fluorocarbon (not warm enough for me) 3: nylon (no character). Still, the background music at the start of ther test went into the way.

Does the sound depends on the material of the ukelele or string?

im not a pro but according to my research the sound differs acc to the material yes. the quality and the material affects the sound just like it does to guitars

@3D1ofakind 2 года назад

it doesn't offend anyone! fluorocarbon is great.

@weirdscience6820 3 месяца назад

Not offended here either. I also prefer fluorocarbons for clarity. It also depends on what suits a particular ukulele. Aquila's have various string types. One RU-vidr says their Sugar strings are their version of fluoros. I'd like to give them a try.
