Hi All,
I know that strings have been discussed to death, and I know about the search function, but I have a very specific question that the searched threads didn't answer for me.
Some of you know that I'm prototyping a carbon fiber hybrid uke. After several iterations and lots of messing about with bracing, I've got something I really like. Other folks seem to like it as well, and some sort of demo will turn up here soonish.
It's got both the volume and sustain that I've been after, as well as a nice round tone. My own ear, however, wants it to be a tad brighter -- more high end on the spectrum. It's currently strung with Worth Browns, and I have a couple of sets of the Southcoast high tension strings with the wound G and C on the way (I love those things).
As a starting point, I'm looking for the brightest set (both low and high G) that I can find -- even if obnoxiously so. I want to find the high end limits of the uke itself. Any suggestions will be much appreciated!
Thanks!
