So here I was changing my strings on LeeLa (that's what I named my beautiful ukulele). I had the d-addario tenor/Hawaiian black nylon on me at the time and I hadn't noticed the package had a wound C string.
So I get the old strings off, and start putting on the A, then the E, and then... I get to the C. And of course, I was surprised to find that it was aluminum, and wound! So here is my question:
WHO WOULD PUT AN ALUMINUM WOUND STRING ON AN INSTRUMENT DESIGNED FOR NYLON STRINGS? More Over, don't you think it "hurts" the ukulele.
Do any of you have a wound C string in your best ukulele? I'm surprised d'addario makes these and I'm shocked to have found out that I was so stupid to buy a pack that had the wound string I don't know, it seems sacrilegious almost to dare to even put an aluminum string into the bridge of my LeeLa... it almost seems like rape
So now I need to buy a new set of strings that will serve LeeLa justice. It'll be another week of less than perfect sounding strings.
