I've been playing for only 6 months or so, so I haven't exactly worn out the current set of strings on the few ukes I have. However, I've been thinking of picking up a few extra string sets (Worth's, Aquila, D'Addario, etc) to try out latter. The intended targets for these strings are a Flea, a Kala KA-C and a Tallgrass concert. These currently have Aquila Nylgut strings on them.
While looking on the Elderly site at Worth's strings, I see for a Soprano/Concert the Worth Browns are marked as different "tensions": light, medium, strong. I did search the forums and from what I found it looks like "higher tension = louder sound"???
I'm not a performer nor am I currently playing with others, so perhaps louder is not necessarily what I need. What would be a good starting point for someone who likely won't be able to tell the difference (i.e. "me")?
TIA for your advice.
