I just got a Collings UT-2, their mahogany tenor ukulele, and I'm really pleased with it! I believe stock strings are Savarez but I haven't had them on a uke before and the tension is a little high for my old fingers. I like Worths and Southcoasts on my other tenors and though I hate to post another string thread I really am curious to hear from whoever has/had one and has tried several brands, and what they ended up sticking with.
On a side note I just found a ding on it and there goes flawless out the window. It was perfect when I got it but I let my husband try it and alternately my Kanile'a so I could hear both from the front, and I am pretty sure it was his ring. I thought to ask him to take it off only after he was already messing with it. Just glad it is on the bottom bout and will put it out of my mind now because it made me queasy when I saw it. More practice material for letting go of attachment. Somebody scraped the whole rear quarter panel of my van last Thursday by apparently shoving a shopping cart into it with their car and pushing for a few feet, the gouges were so long and deep. That was easier to take than a 3/8 inch dent in the wood. I usually just take a deep breath and count all my blessings and drop it. I'm almost there but I only found it 5 minutes ago, lol.
