I put some new strings on one of my favorite ukuleles, and 3 out of 4 strings are amazing. It's never sounded better. The A string, though, is terrible. Must need a slightly heavier gauge string. This is the thinnest A string I've tried. Feels great, but definitely does not sound great. But the other 3 are incredibly good.
So, what do you all do in a situation like that? Use the A string from another brand, and toss out the other 3 strings from that 2nd set? (That's the reason I haven't changed it out yet - don't want to pay for a full set of strings so I can use only one string. Obviously can still keep the other 3 as spares, and not actually toss them, but essentially it will be the same thing.)
Does anyone sell single A strings?
I've given it enough time to settle in, but need to switch it to something else. The set comes with a spare g string, and though it's thicker than I want for the A string, I might give that a try.
