Has anyone tried Living Water Strings on a Tenor Flea and how do they compare to Aquillas?
 
I have not done so on a Flea, but I have on a soprano Oliver Ditson dreadnought. They are great strings!
 
I like them on my Concert Flea, better than the Aquilas.

Not a flea, but did try them on tenor Kanile'a - there is no going back to Aquilla.
Living Water is amazing!
 
I am wondering how they compare to Ko'olau Alohis
 
I have aquilla on my Mainland soprano and they are fine for that, but my Kala concert has Living Water and there is no comparison. Ken Middleton sells them exclusively out of the UK and he says they are bright. I never really knew what bright was until I tried these strings. Go for it!
 
Just ordered a couple of sets of Living Water and will give them a try. I loved the Aquillas but when I recently brought my uke in to Flea Market to have a pickup installed they changed the strings and said they now use Pro_Arte Strings (Clear Nylon J71).They work well and are thick like the aquillas but I think I prefer the Aquilas.
Will give the Living Waters a shot when they come in and will report back.

Me too.
Not that the Aquila sound was bad in any way, but Living Waters somehow made the Flea sing.
