sorry - the thread title should read "Nylgut."
I've got a Pono Tenor Ukulele that i enjoy very much. I have Aquila strings on it now and I believe I have had them on for about 4-5 months. The ukulele had being staying in tune well, but recently has needed to be tuned more frequently. I understand the nylgut (was included with the ukulele when I bought it in June as a back-up set of strings) lasts longer, but it seems like they have reached the end of their playing lives. I've got Ko'olau strings to replace them, but am a bit hesitant to change them. I've grown accustomed to the nyglut (I can't even remember what the uke sounded like beforehand), so does anyone know how different the sound will be when i switch?
Also, i've got a song (the first one i've written) that i'll be playing in a service this coming Sunday - should I play it safe and keep the same strings on for now? I am a bit wary, also, because the A string sounds a bit weak - the first time I changed strings, I did so because the A string snapped while I was playing!
Okay - verbose, I know.
Thanks
