Fellow Ukers,
I have a KoAloha "super soprano" (soprano body, concert neck) that I love, and that still has the factory strings (clear fluorocarbon) on it. I like its bright tone and want to get a similar tone in the new strings I get for it, with one caveat: the uke is so resonant that when I pick single notes, the other (unplayed) strings will begin to vibrate. I have trouble keeping it from creating this sort of string feedback, which is not an issue I've had with any of my other ukes.
Soooo (short story long), my question is if anyone has had this issue, and if anyone thinks that the string tension of the string set might be a help. I'm looking at the Worth Clear fluorocarbon strings, which come in 3 different tensions (high, medium, low). Does anyone have any idea of the effect of a high vs. low tension string set on the strings' tendency to vibrate as a result of notes on other strings being played?
Thanks for your ideas!
