Always a nice day when a new 'ukulele arrives and my tenor arrived on Friday.
Looks great and is clearly well made but the low wound g separated when coming up to pitch.
I put on 2 different sets of quality strings over the weekend but they have done nothing for it.......no resonance and a dull flat tone.
I emailed Joe at Blackbird and he said they use Elixir nano-web 80/20 lights.
So 2 things.
1....Online I can't find these strings that are specific for ukes. Are they guitar strings, and if so, which ones do you use?
2....has anyone tried any other brands with success.
Thanks for any help
