I bought a new Kala Curly Mango Soprano for Christmas (which I LOVE) and I believe it has Aquila strings. It's been less than two months and the strings already have large notches in them where they contact the frets. I would estimate that the deepest notch goes nearly half-way through the string. The ukulele which I had before (a terrible HiLo with some generic hard black strings) I played just as frequently and has had the same strings for over five years with no noticeable notches.
Is this an expected amount of wear for these soft strings?
Do you think the notches are majorly affecting the sound quality?
Does this mean that it's time to replace the strings?
