well first things first, I'm new to the forum. My name is Jarod and have been playing the uke for about a month maybe more. I have a Lanikai LU-21T and feel that the strings that it came with are kinda dull and dont project very well. I am looking for some tight strings that will play nice with slides and hammer-on and what not. The sound does not sound very crisp to me. i have been reading and really can seem to find a string that is a hands down choice for this uke. I have heard that the Aquila strings are used on the lanikai. so i thought i would see what every one thought. Thanks so much.
