Which set of D'Addarios did you get? The J54 (black) and J71 (clear) sets are for tenors. Never had a new string snap on me (yet).I bought a set of D'Addario strings for my lanikai tenor. everything went well until i tried to tune the 3rd(C) string. I'm trying to tune normal C tuning. There was too much tension on the 3rd string so it ended up snapping. So now im trying to find out what strings to get...
I'm trying to get the ko'olau golds, but i dont know which one to get. Also can someone tell me what low G tuning sounds like? and if i could just tune the G string lower to make it low G. Thanks for your time!
go out and try them yourself.
I kind of wonder about that last entry, the "all Nylgut" low-G set... it doesn't seem to be listed on the Aquila website, nor does that Ebay entry say they are all Nylguts, let alone give a type number... It was my understanding that the Nylgut material would get too thick for a tenor-size ukulele on low-G, hence the wound G.* Aquila Low G NylGut
Aquila also has single low G string available. Ukulele World and Elderly should have them. As far a particular brand, everyone here has his/her favs and your best bet as previously mentioned is to "test drive" some of em.
