I just put a set of these (No. 200) on my LoPrinzi mahogany soprano a little while ago. They seem to be settling in pretty quick.
I'm not sure what their formula is for these strings, but they are unlike anything else I've ever played...almost like some hybrid of nylon and fluorocarbon..but I don't know what it is. They're not clear, but not quite solid either in color. The feel is not slick. They have just a bit of texture to them, which I actually like. It makes it easier for me to grab onto notes. To my ears, they are sounding fantastic on this uke. Not too warm or bright, but just right.
I got them from Strings and Beyond, a place I often buy strings from, due to the exceptional service and good prices. These guys ship FAST too.

I'm assuming these strings are also used as guitar strings. Instead of spending the labor to cut them down to soprano uke size it looks like they just package the full length string that would work with guitar. There's a huge advantage to this for a soprano. If you're careful, you can get two sets of strings out of one pack.
I previously tried D'addario Nyltech, Carbon, and T2 Titanium on this uke...and I think it shipped with Aquila. I do believe I've found my string now with these La Bellas.
Anyone else a fan of these La Bella strings? For those of you who like to try out new strings, I'd definitely suggest at least trying these out. I don't see them get much mention. No one likes every string, so I'm sure some won't like them...but I'm a fan now.
