I was really excited to finally get my Favilla Teardrop this past Tuesday. I hurried home, snatched it up, and took it to my lesson with my classical guitar teacher. During the lesson I noticed that the G string sounded dead. I was worried that there might be a problem with the bridge or the nut that was causing the poor sound quality on that string. My teacher thought I was having a technique problem and was suggesting that I pluck the G-string with a different part of my thumb or at a different angle.
I thought that it might be the string - and I was right.
The uke came to me already set up with what looked like mis-matched strings. The C, E, & A were white and looked like they might be Aquilas - and they sounded very good. But the G string was clear and sounded very wooden and "plonky".
I changed out the G string last night for a Worth's Clear - and WOW!!! The difference in sound was unbelievable. I am getting that pretty, resonant bell-like tone that is the Worth's signature. It is just beautiful, and I am so relieved that there is nothing wrong with my Favilla. With the new G string this Teardrop really sings! I can tell that this is going to be my main ax.
Sometimes a good string makes all the difference. To me, Worth's are worth it.
