I recently bought my first new ukulele, the Makala Dolphin in yellow Looks incredibly happy and fun; however, as with any new instrument it's vital to properly set up your instrument (adjusting action at the saddle, nut, fret filing. etc.) I'm at the point where I'm deciding which strings would be best. Now I prefer aesthetic with a combination of good tone; therefore I'm STRICTLY looking for BLACK strings (The black just complements the yellow dolphin too well XD). That automatically disregards Aquila and Worth strings I've heard so much about, so don't recommend those to me unless they happen to release black strings haha. No offense to any of them string lovers!
I replaced the stock strings with D'Addario's J53 Black Nylon strings for a mere 5 bucks on Amazon. They're an improvement from the stock strings with better tone and feel, but I'm wondering if there's anything better out there. I want something that had volume and great tone for strumming and occasional finger picking. The Fremont Blackline Hard have also caught my eye. I'll eventually try them all out, but I want to have a sense of direction and not waste money on brands not worth buying (no pun intended lolol).
My question is, which do you think is the best black ukulele strings out there for the soprano? Which are the ones to avoid? Pro and cons of each? Thanks
