Loud A String, Help? Kiwaya U-Trip-02 (Pineapple Sopranino)

[dgame]

Hi, I have a Kiwaya U-Trip-02 (pineapple sopranino) with Fremont Blackline fluorocarbon (hard) soprano strings. It sounds good but the A string as a whole is louder than the other three strings. As a result the B note pops/blips on chords like Em and G. With the B chord, the B note on the G string does not shout like the B note on the A string.

So the question is what can I do to quiet down the A string? I tried switching the A string with an A string from a Martin M600 fluorocarbon set and it sounds about the same. I did not try the whole M600 set though, could that make a difference? Maybe the other strings will be louder if I use the whole set? Any other string suggestions? Any Kiwaya U-Trip-02 or sopranino players out there? What strings do you use? Thanks

I might be remembering wrong, but I think there was a UU podcast recently that discussed shouty/barky notes, and it was fixed by adding a small weight to the headstock to change the resonance of the neck?

Sometimes the answer is right there in the question. I put the full set of Martin M600 strings on and it plays in harmony. The M600 set sounds mellow and balanced on this ukulele. The A string is noticeable but it does not scream above the other strings.

My Clara did that, but sounds great with worth browns. Sometimes you have to find the happy marriage between strings and instruments I think.
