Hello, I'm looking for some black nylon strings for tenor I was looking at the D'addario j45's but the c string is wound and I don't want that do they have black unwound c string ones?
Thanks
Thanks
Why nylon? Fremont makes black fluorocarbon: http://www.elderly.com/accessories/...-fluorocarbon-tenor-ukulele-strin--STR-FT.htm
What exactly is the difference?
As for differences between nylon and fluorocarbon strings: To my fingers, nylon strings tend to feel a little thicker and softer while fluorocarbon strings tend to have more tension and response. To my ears---nylon stings tend to have more depth and mellowness while fluorocarbon strings tend to sound brighter and to have more volume and sustain.
Just out of curiosity why black?
[I happen to like the look of black strings, but I was wondering if it was the look, or the perceived tone, or looking for all unwound. Just curious.]
Try the Hilo brand tenor set. Some prefer Nylon and others prefer fluoros and IMO, you gotta try em both. Each has a different characteristic as well as tone. Also take into consideration your instrument and how you play.Hello, I'm looking for some black nylon strings for tenor I was looking at the D'addario j45's but the c string is wound and I don't want that do they have black unwound c string ones?
