After deciding not risk buying my first nice uke during my HI vacation http://www.ukuleleunderground.com/f...ea-to-bring-a-HI-uke-to-MT&highlight=humidity
(I may pick up a fluke there, or at least a music book).
I traded in my unused electric guitar and amp (had it for almost 20 years) and some $ for a Martin C1K. Aquila strings made my Maholo soprano sound SO nice that I was stoked when the music shop through some concert Aquilas in for free. After playing for week with the stock Martin strings I swapped over to the Aquilas expecting an awesome improvement in sound.
Wow, was I let down. Compared to the Martins they sound dead, no sustain, muted, dull. Will they "wake up" with some more time playing or do my tastes just lean more towards the relatively twangy sound of the Martin strings on this uke?
