Hi.
I've recently taken up the baritone and I *love* it. As a failed guitar player (short, stubby fingers that could never reach the spreads with my left hand) and a pretty decent standard uke player, baritone seems like a really cool compromise.
I love Aquila strings and have them all on my ukes, but the ones they make for baritone, the two wound strings seems to be really poor quality. I've already had to replace them several times on both my and my kids' ukes (and they are not rough players). From a bit of poking around online, it seems I'm not alone in my experience.
Anybody have a better suggestion for baritone, like maybe the D'Addarios? I have heard mixed things about them. Or others?
And while I'm asking, anybody have a set they like for tenor with a Low G?
Thanks. Glad to have found this group!
