I'm really in need of some new strings on my new soprano. I have d'addarios on right now and I hate how they feel. Very bulky and weird feeling. I just don't know which ones to go with since I haven't used too many kinds. I have the flurocarbon Aquilas on my concert and I love the feel/sound of those, so would Martin flurocarbons be a good choice? I'm also not looking to spend a lot because I don't have much money, so the best for a cheap price would be ideal. Thanks guys.

Aquila flurocarbons? Do you mean Aquila Nylguts or are you talking about another brand of fluorocarbons?

Yeah, they're the new red series that I got from mimmo to test out. I believe they're flurocarbon.

The new Aquila Reds are super thin!
Maybe all strings will feel bulky as you are used to them?

I guess that makes sense. It just seems like the ones I have on now give off a plastic-ish sound when I strum.
 
Must be, I might go with the Martins when I get the moneysssss
 
well,
right now I have made a massive quantity of the red series sets. This mean that the big distributors has them in 7-10 days almost. Then the Red Series sets will be avilable on their on line store and in a few days to the local store were they do the service.
The Red series are doing a good job. 100% ok

It's not like you are breaking the bank buying strings, as they are rather inexpensive anyway, unless you are talking hybrid uBass strings, and then it is only $25 or so. Buy some and see what you like?! I did a string change to Ahkweelahs (lol) on my very first Melokia uke and it made a great sounding instrument. Go for it!:2cents:
 
Living Waters by Ken Middleton. Just put some on my Kanile'a Tenor and wow what a difference. As a relative newbie I could never really tell much difference in sounds between strings on several video comparisons. However, I put these on and the difference stands out a mile. Only Living Waters for me now.

ETF :cool:
 
Hi Kyle,

I have a set of Aquila's looking for a new home. PM me with your address and I'll mail them out tomorrow
