I just wanna share my experience on PhD ukulele creations Low G string set which is amazingly amazing!
So I had my Kamaka soprano HF-1 with the stock strings ever since I got it. While I love my sweet sounding black strings, it was getting a little stale for me. After reading some positive feedbacks on PhD, I decided my next string set is a soprano/concert low G set from PhD.
Once I had them on, the kamaka simply transformed into something else! The voice... turned into a matured, rich and full bodied tone. Previously she sang like a young child, sweet sweet voice with limited sustain. Now she sings like a seasoned pro singer with lots of depth and controlled complexity to her voice. I won’t say it’s a in your face kind of loud but it’s projecting enough volume to stand out in a room of ukes. And the sustain for individual open note is hitting almost to a full 4 seconds!
The texture and feel is more alike to a thinner nylon and softer to touch. Although it is in fact fluorocarbon, it doesn’t sound like a fluorocarbon at all which tends to be thinner and brighter. It’s more like nylon but not quite so... kind of in between the two.
I seems to be full of it but take my words and just go and try it out for the heck of it! You won’t be disappointed.
