Hi Everyone,
I've been dealing with - and recovering from - a left hand injury for about a year. Playing barred/jazz chords (which I love to do) on my KoAloha tenor aggravates the pain. I'm using the Worth clear low G strings. Someone suggested recently that I should try low tension strings. Would anyone have thoughts on this? I researched the Worths and the clear vs. the brown Worths are the same diameter. I'm not sure about the tension but presumably it's the same? Does anyone have experience with joint/hand pain? Should I try Aquilas or the D'addario Pro Arte ukulele strings?
I really want to keep playing my ukulele and I'm willing to try whatever it takes. My physical therapist (who works with symphony musicians) has given me suggestions as well. But I have no idea if changing to different strings will be helpful.
Thanks so much.
Jill
