I've been looking for some new low G strings to try on my Pono mango sprucetop tenor. The low G Worth clears were pretty good, but this uke has yet to "open up" and I found the strings sounding sort of muffled, like the whole instrument was wrapped in a marshmallow. With all the recent UU discussion about "how to make your uke sound more guitar-like", I started listening more to Craig Brandau's videos. That was exactly the sound I was hoping to get from my tenor. I emailed him, found out that he uses Savarez strings, and ordered a set.
Can I just say... WOW!!!!
I am so impressed with these strings! I consider Worths to be my all-around favorite strings, especially on my soprano. But they don't even compare to the Savarez on this particular uke. Every single note is now louder, more clarified, and yes, more "guitar-like". I feel like the sprucetop opened up overnight!
I made a "before" video yesterday with the Worths, and will make one with the Savarez strings today. I'll post both later. I am so so pleased. Thanks, Craig!
