Hi all,
I know that the best answer is 'it depends' but here goes anyway. I'm a bit of a newbie, been strumming for 10 months, not anywhere near a good player. I have bought a concert size Cordoba 25CK with all solid wood top sides and back, the 'wood that dares not speak its name' i.e. acacia koa grown in Portugal.
It is currently strung with Aquila Nylgut strings, and I'm curious to try different strings to see the difference in sound. The Aquilas do sound good to me, more than adequate volume, sustain is good. I'm curious as to what else the uke might sound like with different strings on it. I mostly strum, mostly jazz standards and older, and in the next few months I want to start picking more.
Can anyone throw a suggestion or two for strings that I should try on this uke? I'd be very grateful. Some time ago I read about a 'string sampler' pack, but I can't find any info on that anywhere.
Cheers
