If I ever

thought strings didn't make a difference I'm totally over it now. I just restrung my moku spruce top tenor with some D'Addario Nylon strings that someone sent me. Wow do they make that Moku sound like a piece of junk (which it isn't). I'll be restringing of course. In the early days I was unconvinced that strings would or could make much difference in a uke sound. Boy was I dead wrong on that one. Now I'm sure.

Just to be clear I'm neither knocking the string company or the uke. It's just that a string set seems to be able to make a very large difference in how some ukuleles sound. It's been a process for me to fully grok that. On another uke they could be stellar. Which of course adds another dimension to USAS.

Oh and btw, if anyone owns this uke what strings are you happy about? It's one I plan to sell at some point and I want it to sound pretty.

What did you have on it before the D'Addarios?

I'm not familiar with Moku, but have you tried fluorocarbons on it yet?

They were Worth Browns. My friend commented when I played the same song for her on 6 different ukes she said I ought to sell the Moku. I hadn't played it in a long while due to the fact that I really don't like such a imo super thin neck. When I played it I remembered it sounding better but I don't remember what the originals were. So I thought a string change might bring it back up to snuff. I think I'll have to try Oasis or even Aquila. It's a well made mid range cost spruce top solid. I've never really liked any spruce I've ever played. Anyway I know this can sound better and I'd like to get back there if I can. It's new and hardly been played. I just don't like such a thin neck. Oh and it's a thin body uke too and really nice on the eye.
