Hi all, I just aquired a nice Kamaka HF-3 (Centennial model) here on UU. I'll be the 1st to admit, after playing 3 of the 4 Big K koa tenors side by side early this year in Hawaii, Kamaka was my least favorite. Not saying it has a bad sound, just that I preferred Kanile'a and KoAloha over it. But I wanted a nice version of each and Kamaka is the last to snag. Obviously the Centennial model is now 4 years old, so the wood has opened up a little. My question is have any of you Kamaka players out there found strings you prefer over the stock black strings Kamaka uses? Or are the original Kamaka strings the best pairing? I know strings are very personal, not just sound but feel comes into play. I find I can deal with most any feel to get strings that sound best for a particular uke. And the sound I prefer is warm and full but still clean. Unless I'm trying to brighten up a "dull" (or maybe mellow is a nicer way to say it) uke, I usually stay away from bright strings. This Kamaka is not a dull uke by any stretch. So rather than randomly trying different strings that I've liked on my other ukes, I thought I'd throw the question out there and maybe luck into a shortcut! Please help, and thanks for your opinions!
