There has been a lot of threads about which strings to choose.
Besides high G/ low G and which brand, there is the big difference of nylon/nylgut vs floucarbons. I know that this is pretty generic.
I haven't quite decided what I prefer, so I wonder if I should string different ukes with different strings. So what goes where?
Besides taking the very shallow poll, I would like comments that specify what you believe points to one material over the other with respect to:
Tuning: high g, low G and other, flourcarbons for which?
Playing style: strumming, picking, flourcarbons for which?
Genre: Some genres need another sound?
Ukulele size: My local ukulele pusher told me that flourcarbons are only for sopranos, I assume many will disagree.
Wood type: does it matter if it is mahogany, koa or something else?
I know that there is not a simple answer to these questions, but if you feel that any of the above affects which strings you prefer, or the importance of having you favorite strings, then that parameter is what I am looking for.
