OK, I am new to the forum and just can't believe the great information available here. As well I must congratulate everyone as this is the friendliest forum I have ever seen albeit I have limited exposure to many others.
My Ukulele is a Fender Nohea Tenor, I have it strung low g with Aquila nyglut on the 1,2 & 3rd strings and a D'Addario Pro.Arte Classical guitar ( .76mm) for my low g.
I think I like a soft rich sound versus a bright sound.
I did snap a wound string and replaced it about 3 months ago.
I am recovering from a hip replacement surgery this winter so I am home and playing lots. Playing lots means I am seeing some improvement which makes me play more.
How do I know when my strings need changing ?
If they are worn out , can it cause a buzzing sound ? I seem to be getting a buzzing on my first string playing a c chord and sometimes on my second string especially if I am playing with enthusiasm. It seems like a new sound and not something that has been there all along. I have been reluctant to just change the strings because the Ukulele stays in tune so well I didn't want to mess with it.
I know there is a lot of information about strings on the site and read the sticky about strings ( great stuff BTW )
In another thread there was a good discussion about red Aquila non wound low g's, I saw a picture of a Ukulele with 2 red ones ( the G and C ) what's with that ?
Does anyone know of a site that ships to Canada for a reasonable price ? The one I checked wanted $12 shipping for $8 strings and when I thought OK then I'll get 3 or 4 sets just to make it worthwhile they added another $12 for every set.
Any suggestions would be most helpful.
