Hey, guys! It's been a while since I've been here on the boards, but I need new strings & I thought I'd stop in to check the archives for string recommendations... Of course, I was not expecting to learn of Dirk's passing (from Southcoast Ukes). Wow. What an incredible loss. My deepest sympathies go out to his family & everyone else he has touched over the years in the worldwide ukulele community.
I'm hoping that you guys might know where I can find "dupes" for some of Dirk's string sets. Specifically, the "Light Gauge Ukulele - Item # LU" - which are the best strings I ever put on my tenor uke. Those strings are like butter - super lightweight & easy on the fingers - but bright, tight and cheerful on the uke.
Since I can't get another set of Southcoast light gauge strings, I'm looking for two new sets of super low tension strings - one for a tenor with re-entrant tuning & one for a tenor w/ two wound strings/ linear tuning.
I appreciate any input you guys can offer....
Thanks so much!
