In another thread I mentioned how I have recently been trying the Oasis GPX Carbon classical guitar strings and have been loving them.
Today I had another example of how great they are:
Today my wife got a Pono Pro Classic Series 5 Mango tenor. She had asked for Oasis Warm high G on it. We were both felt the sound was not living up to the potential of the instrument. We replaced them with the Oasis GPX strings. So this is using the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd strings and then another 1st string for the high G. Huge, huge difference. So much more tone and I believe the higher tension is also a better match for this particular uke.
I don't know for sure whether the fluorocarbon construction of the Oasis GPX is any different to the Oasis Warms but I strongly suspect it is. The gauges are certainly slightly different.
These have become my go-to treble strings, in combination with the Thomastik CFs on the bottom. I have this combination on my LFDM and my Pro Classic baritone and am very happy with it. Better than the Thomastik Nylons on the top and the tuning is more stable too. You can buy just the Treble sets to get the unwound strings and they are also available in normal and high tension.
I recommend trying these especially if you want a bit more guitar sound than uke sound.
