Hi
I brought a Bruko 6 in April and fell in love with it so I decided for Christmas I'd buy myself a custom model.
I chose a Walnut body concert. It looks beautiful but I'm having a problem with the sound and not sure if it's the scale, wood type or strings.
I didn't like the pyramid strings, they feel sticky or something. It's hard to explain but I didn't like the texture. I swapped them for Worth Browns as I did with my number 6 but the uke is so quiet.
The clarity seems OK but it's nowhere near as loud as my number 6.
Am I expecting too much? Is walnut quieter than mahogany? Should a concert be quieter than a soprano? Or are Worth Browns the wrong strings for a walnut concert use?
Can anybody offer some advice?
