I really like Alohi strings. I have put them on a few of my ukes and have never been disappointed, and currently have most of my main players strung up with them.
I put them on my soprano sometime in June after UWC. The instrument had nearly perfect intonation after the strings settled. I noticed in late September that the C string was a little off, different amounts depending where you were on the fretboard. I picked it up the other day, and the intonation was terrible. I pulled the Alohi's off and put on some Worths I had laying around and the intonation is nearly perfect again.
I put Alohi's on my tenor around August/September, and now I'm noticing it's starting to sound a little off as well. I'm going to change the strings on it later tonight as it is my only 4 string tenor and I've been on a bit of a finger picking kick.
Here is my question...has anyone else taken note of the string life of Alohi's? I feel like 3-5 months isn't long enough...especially since I know I can get a year out of Aquilas and who knows how long out of Worths.
Thoughts?
