Hi all! I didn't find any other specific topic so I opened a new one I hope I did it right (it's my first day here )
So I really like Jake Shimabukuro sound, I know that is mainly due to his crazy ability on the uke, the kamaka custom tenor and maybe even the microphone effect but...I was wondering if I might get a closer sound putting some d'addario strings on my Kanile'a tenor.
I saw different types, but among the nylon ones 2 in particular:
-J71
-EJ65
Does someone know what is the difference between the two? Looking at the specifics even the tension seems to be similar.
Anyone who tried one of the 2, or maybe both ?
I know they tend to be harder and ticker so your hands need to be well trained but I was wondering if some of you guys actually tried them on a full Koa instrument.
Cheers!
