I read the pinned post describing all the different strings over on the other section, and that is a lot of info to take in.
I'm pretty new to playing (only had my uke about a month/month and a half) and I don't think need to worry about changing strings just yet. However, I am curious.
I have a Lanikai soprano I got from Guitar Center with whatever it's stock strings are. For most of my playing they work great, but sometimes the C seems just a little bit off. Also, the A gets a sort of.. tinny? sound if I strum or pluck at or past the fifth fret. Is that normal?
When the time does come for new strings, how do I know which ones to try first with my uke? From what I've gathered different strings work differently with different ukuleles. I've seen many positive posts of Living Waters and Martin M600s. Some very mixed stuff on Aquila.
Anyway, sorry for the long post! I look forward to reading what you guys have to say, thanks!
