Tenor low G all black strings?

ChuckBarnett · Jun 15, 2019

My little tenor uke is nearly 6 months old!! I started it on Aquila strings (3 black, 1 white. With the maple fretboard I wonder if anyone knows of an all black set for low G tuning? Otherwise I'll do another set like the ones I have.

Thanks, folks!!

You might also try Worth Browns, they are almost black.

Thanks, folks!
I ordered one set each of each of these, not understanding the differences:

Aquila Sugar Ukulele Strings Low G Tuning Tenor Ukulele 155U
Aquila Super Nylgut AQ-107 Tenor Ukulele Strings - Low G - 1 Set of 4

If you like Aquila, those are worth trying - but neither is black.

Well, that is certainly disappointing. That's what I was looking for was black strings.

I guess I'll have to look into those others that were recommended.

I ordered what seem to be black strings from Fremont (happens that it is in Seattle -a hour away!).

I may be late to the game but Kamaka makes a low G set in black.

Disregard my post. I was incorrect--suggested strings are clear.

Thanks Jim for highlighting my error.

Haven't tried them yet, but the whole PHD (Ukulele Creations by Jason Arimoto and endorsed by Daniel Ho) line are black strings.

Where are you getting that? All the descriptions and pics there are clearly clear strings. I have had one set of PHD strings years ago (nice set but switched to South Coast at the time) and it was clear.
