Well as a beginner I did just enough research to make sure my ukes had decent strings based on popular opinion and a some full on reviews. I went with Aquila knowing they were a good bet and they have been. Now however it's time for me to see for myself what all this bru ha ha is about string differences. Maybe with my untrained ear I won't hear much but I hope that's not really true. Anyway I have a entry level Lanikai LU21 tenor that I've had for awhile. I almost began this quest about two years ago but couldn't get the confidence to get going so these strings have been on it a long time but only played hard for a few months. Anyway it's been a nice instrument and I guess I got lucky because it plays well and easily. And blah blah blah, sorry about all that background.
I want to put on new strings. I think I'd like to go with a Low G tuning. I can't say that I really like the Aquilas on this particular instrument but what do I know at this point? What would you put on this instrument? I'd like a more mellow sound if possible.
