Believe it or not, this isn't a rant thread!
I'm in the process of preparing a presentation for a group of music educators on incorporating ukulele into their classroom teaching. Part of the presentation is on what type of instruments to purchase, strings, etc, and I want to give a demonstration on the difference among them.
There seems to be a type of black string that is put on nearly every type of cheap ukulele that always seems to sound horrible, when compared to a decent set of strings, whether they be Aquilas, Martins, etc.
My question is - what are those? Can you buy them by themselves? I don't have any instruments that have them, but I'd like to get a hold of some to show the difference. Are they usually nylon, or something else?
Thanks in advance for your help!
