Hi all. I'm an only 2 month player living in the sticks of Iowa. When you live where I do it's impossible to try before you buy. So, life is short and I've bought a few and I've come to realize I really love the "mojo" of early 1900's ukuleles.
My question is: these old ukuleles originally came w/ nylon strings ,yes? Probably fishing line. My understanding is they had very low tension. My concern is that new strings could put a lot of stress on these sometimes rather fragile works of art.
Which strings out there (that sound good) are really low tension like the originals on these old Kumalaes, Nunes, Kamakas, Harmonys, etc.? Thanks in advance.
