I was fairly content with Ko'olau Alohi strings with a wound C on my Ko'olau T-2. To my hearing they were not quite the perfect strings, but good. I had been wanting to try the Oasis GPX Fluorocarbon, Bright strings with low G on my Ko'olau T-2. Tonight I put them on.
Wow! The Oasis strings were so much more resonant,warmer, and clearer to my ears. I like the Oasis sound much better. Maybe it's because they are new and different from the Alohi strings it came with. Granted the Oasis set had a low G, but the uke sounds like a different tenor with the Oasis strings. And they have only been on a couple hours. The next string change for this uke I will have try Alohi with low G.
See what you think. Note: both were in B tuning.
