Pros & Cons
Pros
Ernie ball ukulele strings w/low g, ebony wood nut and bridge, luna concert uke. This pack comes with practically 2 sets of strings! As you trade some of the traditional ukulele sound, i absolutely love the low g as it enabled more guitar like sounds ... Read More
These ernie balls have a great tone that pulls the most out of my soprano ukulele. They take a fair amount of time to stretch out, but they stay in tune longer and sound better than the aquila strings my instrument came with.
Cons
They have a plasticity feel and made my ukulele sound like a plastic toy. They are very spongy and not loud enough to be heard. The black strings casting a shadow on the dark wood of my oscar *concert uke really made it difficult to play.
The instructions say for a slotted bridge to cut off the ball end and tie a knot - which defeats the purpose of buying ball end strings. Sticking to aquila strings. One of the 28 gauge strings that i received is definitely not black.

They were terrible and i could never entirely stretch them out properly, always going out of tune.

Price

Value is on point & easy to install!

With the previous fluorocarbon strings it was just too snappy sounding

Interestingly i had a set on a high gloss solid mahogany tenor ukulele and i thought the sound was just ok

It’s important to note that it’s hard to call a string “bad” like reviewers often do when it’s just not the string set’s fault that it is poorly matched with the instrument

That being said it’s a crying shame that many of the instruments being sold these days come with the thick synthetic nylon marketed as similar to old school gut

Sure those strings are durable and have good tuning stability but they are thick and stiff and the tone is often dull with a c string “thuds

That is not a flaw but the reality of nylon strings
