Greetings!
A few days ago, I purchased a new Martin T1K (solid Koa) Tenor. The tenor came equipped with Martin strings. The strings are thin and of very high tension. After doing a little research on Martin's site, I found out that Martin produces only two sets of strings. One is the M600 series which is designed for soprano/concert ukuleles, the other is the M630 series which is designed for baritone ukes.
Based upon the ultra bright sound and the high tension, it appears that the M600 soprano/concert strings were attached at the factory. I'm hoping by changing the strings, the ultra bright sound and high tension will diminish. As since this is my first solid Koa ukulele, can anyone offer suggestions for a proper string set? Thank you in advance for any contribution(s).
