...before I decide whether or not I like the sound? Do they "open up" like the uke itself? Is there anything happening as they settle in and finally start staying in tune? The new ones have been on for a few days now and I'm just not connecting with the sound. Less warmth, less sustain than I like.
I had Southcoast Mediums on my Mainland mahogany concert and really liked them, but they were getting long in the tooth and showing marks at the frets. I had some Ko'olau Golds and Martin M600s here to choose from and went with the Golds. Folks sing praises of both so decided to try nylon vs. fluoro, and for lack of any other deciding factor, they're gold.
Should I pull the plug now or give them some time?
