Documenting Uke and Strings Combos - Collab Project
As I was researching strings on the board today, I noticed what is needed is a central place to list all the uke and string combos we have tried, whether we thought they were good or not. Some people are trying to achieve a certain sound, so what may be "bad" to one person might actually be good for another. So what I'd like to do is start tracking these in a spreadsheet.
But before I start asking for everyone's uke/string experiences, I want to make sure I have all the right columns for things we want to track. So far I have:
And on a second page, I have more details about each string line with these data columns:
Let me know if I should add columns, or if I need to get rid of some (for example, maybe I don't need two columns for String Brand and Line.) After we get the spreadsheet set up the way we want, then I can start adding your results. Does this sound like a good idea? Does something like this already exist - maybe I'm re-inventing the wheel here.
Anyway, here is an example of what I'm talking about. There are tabs at the bottom of the spreadsheet that will allow you to flip between pages, or sheets.

String Brand, String Brand Line, Size, Materials, Notes
