I have a Pete Howlett tenor that is on the bright side and although it sounds nice I want it much more mellow, with high G. Here are the strings I have tried
Oasis warm, both high and low G = higjer tension than I like, kinda warm but not enough.
Aquila Reds, yes they are bright and loud but I liked the tension.
Worth CM ( concert size to try and mellow it out) not bad, medium tension
Aquila nylgut, great tension but standard Aquila sound.
Worth Brown BT = Weird string on this uke, high tension, very bright when finger picked, warm and muted when strumed with flesh. Metalic sounding when strummed with nails. It is like WB has a dual personality.
I like a medium tension at most, this action is on the high side, larger diameter strings than the browns and something that will give me a warm full sound.
What do you guys and girls suggest I try next or next or next.
