I have a Mya-Moe being built in June. I know, I'm a lucky fellow. My first handmade uke. It's a low-G tenor with striped myrtle and I originally decided on flourocarbon, but, have since played a bunch of nice tenors-Kamaka, Kanilea, William King, DeVine, and they all had a wound G and I loved the sound. Just wanted to weigh in with thoughts and experiences from others on the pros and cons of wound G tenors.
To my ear, the bass response was more complex due to the different material. At first, I thought I wouldn't like that, but, it worked great on these high quality handmade instruments. If it makes much difference, I will have a K&K pickup installed and will be playing some solo shows with the uke in the Fall. Does the wound G sound different amplified?
Thanks for the help!
