Pros & Cons
Pros
It's like upgraded all my ukuleles. It’s prefect for me. And it deserves a good one.
These seem to be settling in quickly. They take about a day before they finish stretching and then they hold pitch very well. Try not to use a lot of string when tying the knot on the bridge.
Bought these strings at guitar center after accidentally clipping off my e string from a ddadarrio pack. The gauge of the g and a strings is very similar so it would be easy not to catch the error, but i read about it on a ukulele forum. Since i found... Read More
Cons
Buzzing, breaking. I am terribly irritated by this. I realize that these strings are a little more frail than guitar strings, but honestly, 2 weeks of moderate play? Wasted $6 and time on this.
Strings are good, but they are labeled wrong in the packaging. Essentially the order of the strings is flipped. This is disappointing, since i thought martin strings would be the best.
Highlights
Quality
Cheap, good quality and very easy to to use.
The mix of two flurocarbons with the two wound produces for me a clearer voice than two nylon plus two wound.
I replaced them with the martin strings.
Looked up some videos and found that this is an issue with the package printing that you may or may not find yourself.
Packaging/appearance
As a new ukulele player, changing strings for the first time, this packaging made it simple and straight-forward.
One thing i really liked was the packaging.
I was confused by the packaging and nearly put my first string where the fourth should have been and vice versa.
Competitiveness
I put this set on a soprano makala shark ukulele with a tie-bar bridge.
They are reasonably priced and can make some ukes sound amazing.
I dislike the flabby nylon strings that come on cheaper ukes.
So i was maybe a bit sloppy compared to a long-time player.

Here’s a tip for you cats if you like the loud clear sound of martin tenor fluoro strings on your tenor uke but the high tension makes your dainty fingers hurt then put these concertsoprano strings on your tenor uke instead

They are thin so can hurt your fingers if you haven’t built up calluses
