Although I am a lover of Fremont Blackline mediums, I decided to step out on my favorites and sample some other strings. I have all soprano ukes both vintage (20's, 40's & 50/60's Gretsch ukes, 40's Favilla, 40's Martin 1M, 40's/50's Gibson uke 1) and current ukes a Nue Nue 1879, Ko'Aloha Pikake, Black Bear) and I have blacklines on most of them. I decided to try the Orca strings on my Pikake and found that they offered a warmer but more muted sound but also took a long time to settle. Oddly they also seemed to become less-muted with age. Are my ears playing tricks on me or has anyone experienced changes like this. Also have the Orcas taken longer to settle? cheers, g2
