It's time for me to swap out the strings on my Kamaka tenor. It still has the Kamaka stock strings it came with, but they've started to lose their zing, and that's affecting the way the ukulele sounds. Unlike most people, I actually liked the stock strings, but I'm willing to try something that's a little different but not too different. For what it's worth, I have a low-g Kamaka that has Worth clears (I wanted an unwound low g), and I like the sound of those a lot, although I'm not crazy about the way they feel. So perhaps I'm looking for strings that sound aomewhat like Worths but feel somewhat like the Kamaka stock strings I'm using now.
So my question to Kamaka tenor owners, past and present, is: what strings are you using (or did you use, if you don't have one anymore) on your Kamaka tenor, and what did you like most and least about them? Has any one tried the string sets Aaron is selling at Hawaiian Music Supply? Any and all suggestions are most welcome. Thanks in advance!
