I love the sound of the Kanile'a GL6 guitarlele, but I struggle a bit with enjoying the unwound nylon strings, in particular the C string. The transition from the three wound to the three plain nylon strings is noticeable, more so than with plain fluorocarbon strings.
I tried D'Addario Folk Nylon strings on the GL6, which I believe have normal string tension, and the tension was too high for me (I feel for the GL6 also). I like the tension of the Kanile'a GL6 strings and would ideally like to find something made of fluorocarbon that has about the same tension (whatever that is - it seems impossible to get any actual information on the Kanile'a GL6 strings; they look exactly like the Folk Nylons, ball ends included, but the tension is different).
Has anyone with a GL6 (Islander or Kanile'a) tried LIGHT/soft tension guitar strings made of fluorocarbon on their instrument and can share their experience? Especially in comparison to the original GL6 strings as far as tension (but also tone and intonation) is concerned?
