I feel like this is redundant. Apologies if so but I can't find the thread that talked about these.
I just picked up a set of Reds with low g. The # on the package is cod 88u, which I believe refers to a lot number. I thought the Reds were smooth and shiny now, rather than the rough, dull, semi-wound feel of the traditional Red low g. Did I get the right set?
FWIW I had no issues stringing them up to my Fluke. The sound is very nice, though I'm not sure if that's due to the Fluke or the strings. Sustain is really very good (makes me want to restring the Pono), though again not sure if it's the strings or the uke.
After a couple of days they are staying in tune pretty well. The "semi-wound squeak" will take some getting used to but it's not bad, especially when playing at normal volume. I wonder how it would sound with an amp though. I will most likely string up the Worth Clears as a comparison but these are nice.
