Months ago I purchased a set of Low GCEA Guadalupe strings for my bari. Didn't like em so much then, but tried them this week and found them to be pretty nice. Funny how things can change. Since I originally tried them, my playing has improved which may be one reason I think the strings have improved. Ha! They make the bari a cannon of an instrument. In the video, I'm not playing hard but you can hear the resonance and volume. Not sure how it would do in a group setting. But it certainly is bringing out a nice voice out of the instrument. Seems to work well on slower pieces. Quick songs could get a little muddy....
Thought it might be nice to compare them to another set of strings I am fond of - Uke Logic's. So I recorded the same tune. The strings are their high tension with a Low G. I've tried a variety of strings on the Tenor Pono I used in the video. The Uke Logic strings are by far the best I've found for it. The uke logic sample starts at about 2:52 if you want to skip to it.

Not perfect playing, but it does allow you to hear the strings. Recorded in my home using a Rode mic. No enhancements added.
