Hi UkuleleLadyT, I absolutely understand your preference for non-wound strings. I don‘t like the feel of the wound strings myself. And that‘s not just because of the fingering noises. It‘s the whole feel of a wound string, I can‘t warm up to. And they tend to wear off quite fast, as well.
However, I seriously recommend to try the flatwound low g set for tenor ukes by Pepe Romero Jr. The low g string is a flatwound one, or maybe rather a ground one. I‘m not quite sure here. But I‘m sure or rather know very well, that the low g string is a real winner. It‘s not as fat or wobbly as some non-wound strings tend to be (for example the brown low g string from Worth), you don‘t hear any fingering noises at all, and it‘s much more durable than the regular wound strings.
I have them on three different ukes now: on a soprano, a concert and two tenors, and I played one of the tenors very regular for about a year and a half, and it‘s still ok - that means, still no immediate need to change it. No sign of the wound wire to wear off.
I‘d give it a try. Although I‘m not sure if the low g string is available separately. Maybe you‘ll have to buy a full set.
