Any (low G) string recommendation for concert uke?

[ukutravel]

Hi,

I have tried Aquila red series (low G) and NEW NYLGUT (low G) so far.
I didn't like red because of that paper-ish texture.
New Nylgut is okey, but sometimes it buzz when I hold up to 7th fret.
I want more flexible and soft string if possible (less gauge).
Any recommendations?

Have a good day

You might like the Living Waters Low G set. All four strings are fluorocarbon, the tension is not too high, and they are quite comfortable under the fingers. Lovely sound too. Available online from Uke Republic, or directly from Ken Middleton in England.

I use Living Water low G concert scale fluorocarbons on nearly all of my ukes - both tenor & concert scales - best that I've found.

I don't have a low G on my concert, but I have D'Addario fluorocarbons on my tenor, and there is an equivalent set for concert scale available. I like them, they stretched quickly and stay in tune well, and weren't particularly expensive (not that any of the string sets I've looked at have been in the grand scheme of things!).

Since you're able to isolate the location of the buzz, perhaps it's a fret buzz?
For wound lowG I am highly biased towards Thomastik (& will likely put Thomastik wound C-strings on all my better ukes).
The only real reasonably sized gauge lower strings are all wound, IME. Most flour/nylon lower strings are too wide & require widening of slot at nut.

I actually like the Aquila reds precisely for that dry, papery tone. The only thing I like about low G tuning is that I can play songs in a country acoustic fingerpicking blues vibe, and that distinctive dry tone lends itself nicely to that.

I like the PhD low G set (fluorocarbon) on my KoAloha concert. They're available from Daniel Ho Creations (and elsewhere):

Exactly why I love them. Playing some country tunes just sound off to me in reentrant and I love the rough feel on the strings.
I may try the Living waters just to see since so many people seem to like them.
Good luck Uketravel.
