Bright, Balanced Tone

The clear nylon material of these strings delivers a crisp, articulate tone that projects beautifully. Chords ring out with clarity while single notes speak with definition. The tone is balanced across the fretboard, allowing all the notes of your ukulele to shine through.

Fast, Stable Tuning

    The Strings perform the way they should. Nylon strings are gentle on the fingers.

    These strings punch above their weight. Great sound and inexpensive at the same time. I like the slightly thicker feel. Not as bright as fluorocarbons. It took 2 weeks to stretch... But that's pretty normal. The bead end is super easy for installation. You can cut it off if you'd rather make a knot. And you get plenty of string. I love it that these are made in the USA in Coachella, CA.

    Firstly, I will commend these strings for giving you twice as much strings for a soprano uke. It's like getting 2 sets in a pack and are very cheap compared to others. As far as recommending them, I would- if you're into thicker strings or are looking for that loud boom factor. I installed these on my vintage Martin Style 0. These strings are thick and beefy (note the fat diameter on them). They project loudly with a lot of boom- possibly due to the thickness. Though there is a bit of sacrifice to it as my fingers weren't gliding through them when fanning. When I first put them on, I wanted to take them off right away because they sounded muddy, but as time went on and the strings have had time to settle, they began to sound a tad brighter. Still lacked clarity and the sustain I was looking for. Take my review with a grain of salt because every uke is made of different materials and some may compliment other tone woods better. Experimentation is key! Expect to spend at least $20 on strings in the process to really get to know which strings are better for you and your uke. I'll add that these strings might better suit laminated ukes or bright tone woods to give them more of a rich, bassy, mellow sound. If they offered a thinner diameter set, I would definitely buy them again.
