When I purchased the Uke the seller thought they were Worth Clears/KoAloha. The uke sounded really good even though I thought a little "brighter" might be even better. A few weeks ago I started noticing that the E string seemed it was losing some of it's "UMPH".
Last week a switched-out the strings with Martin 600 Clear Fluorocarbon for "Sopranos/Concerts". (still stretching a little)
The sound is great, very much to my liking, possibly a little less "mellow". I will say they are definitely tighter than the previous ones but not a problem playing them. I wonder though if the tightness has to do with the extended neck or if they could be "too tight". I guess not since they are used for Concert scale ukes.(?)
This is my 3rd "solid" wood uke now with the Martins plus my Banjolele. I really like them.
Anyone else tried them with an extended neck Soprano or a Concert scale uke? How about with a solid KOA uke (my other 2 were solid mahogany)?
