I have searched within the board for information regarding strings. Usually discussion about a particular brand / model, but nothing recent regards current strings on the market.
I am new to ukulele so don't flame me for stupid questions. I am looking at 2nd hand entry level ukes and accept most being sold may need new strings. So we are not talking high end craftsman made ukes here. Just factory makes.
I have read Aquila Nylgut are popular but also some sites suggesting they are not bright enough. Any reason not to fit these and what are others using?
For the record I am looking at a used Samick (Greg Bennet UK70 ...concert) with veneer top. The other candidate is a Legend (solid spruce top) tenor. I do not think it is Lanikai Legend series, rather an old Aussie import brand.
So tell me about your strings?
