... Strings, sounds, etc, are a very personal thing and vary greatly from person to person and ukulele to ukulele. That being said - Every uke I've tried...
thanks mike, guess i will just have to get me some. ... Strings, sounds, etc, are a very personal thing and vary greatly from person to person and ukulele to...
I also have a set, but haven't decided to try them. Considering the cost of ukuleles these days, a small investment ($10?) in auditioning different types of...
I have put Aquila Nylguts on my soprano and concert ukuleles. The difference they have made is amazing. I like the magic description...they are....magic. ...
That's why it is a good idea to have more than one ukulele. Once I decided to tune one of my ukes to Bb, and I love it by the way. I forgot that I was...

... T think they are the best on most but not all instruments. On a few of my ukes I've found othere strings I like better, but the Nylguts are always what I...

What I have done for students is take the highest string (i.e., the E string on a baritone) and move it to the top position (it becomes the G string). Then I...

I keep my concert uke tuned to GCEA, but I like to tune my tenor and baritone ukes to DGBE like the last 4 strings of a guitar. That way when I play with other...
Maybe a dumb question, but does this mean that any four string guitar sold at my local music shop could be potentially tuned reentrant? I wouldn't mind having...
