Concert Ukulele Strings, Clear Nylon, EJ65C, 4-String Set, Pack of 1

Update: After several months of use on my all koa tenor, I can easily say these are my favorite strings of all time. They are much thicker than most other uke brands, and really bring the low mids,but honestly, to me it feels like an orchestra is under my fingers, I can get any tone I want out of them with very little effort, Previously my favorite sounding strings were Worth browns,they sound great in the studio but but they are a little low energy for my gigs (weddings,private parties, etc) and I always liked the volume Aquilas brought, but not the harshness and rattle; these are the best of both worlds to me. Just tried Worth clears, and I still like these better (although the worth clears have a heavy gauge too, I will check that out in the future). $5????????????? I guess these must be repackaged pro arte trimmings but I don't care, they're awesome, Original review: I am a pro player. I have used Aquilas and find them to be good, loud strings. But for my new koa Island Ukulele, which was strung with Aquilas from the shop or luthier, I ran into a problem where the Uke returns so much energy that the A string actually rattled on the bridge, creating a fret-buzz-like tone (I've seen a negative review of Island Ukes where the player thought they had bad fret buzz, I can almost guarantee this is actually what they were experiencing- the Uke actually vibrates TOO much for the unforgiving nylgut strings- kind of a good problem to have if you ask me. One option would be to replace the bridge with wood or another slightly softer material, but I had success using a little piece of foam around the string below the bridge, problem solved, in a slightly ugly way). And frankly, I didn't feel the spanky nylgut tone was doing the best this Uke could do. Worth doesn't make a wound low G as far as I can find, but I LOVE worth brown strings. What I may end up doing long term is buying those and finding an excellent guitar string to use as a low G, I've used Augustines in the past with good results. Or cut the nut to fit the heavy low G fluorocarbon. We'll see about that. Anyway, I tried these pro arte strings since I already use them for my nylon guitar, had never used clear nylon strings on a uke before. Holy cow, these things are thick, had to widen the C and A slots slightly to accommodate (I have proper nut slotting files). But the tone is like a big, warm, soft blanket. I really love it. I can get a velvety thumb sound, a very mellow first finger Tiny Tim strum sound, and my back of the fingernails strum is loud but not harsh. And It DOES NOT sound like a guitar, which I was concerned about. Worth brown strings also have a pleasing warm tone, but are so thin, I just don't know that they'll deliver the kinetic energy these strings do. I feel like I'm barely working and filling up a lot of sonic space. There are dead spots on the fretboard, as with any fretted instrument, but in playing chords the fundamentals are so strong the dead spots are indistinguishable. I notice another review of these strings that notes these are intended for ADF#B tuning, but I didn't notice that in any fine print, and the packaging clearly states GCEA strings (it's called a low g set after all). I think ALL Ukes probably perform better when tuned up to D6 tuning, but it's harder on your fingers for every day playing, and no client has ever walked up to me and said "golly, if only you tuned up to D, your tone would have been that much brighter, and I'd have given you a bigger tip." At any rate, I'm loving the tone and playability so far. I do notice they're taking FOREVER to settle into tune for more than than 10 minutes or so, not even close overnight after 5 days and two gigs. I suppose they act the same on my guitar, but it is taking a while, nothing like nylgut, those things stay in tune after a day or 2. Not that I don't tune every time I pick up my instrument, because I do, but these aren't even close. Yet. If my opinion changes, I will alter my review, but this this point, I am really enjoying the robust feel and the velvet fog tone these strings project (sorry Mel). BTW, one pack I ordered had a PLAIN low G in it, an absolute packaging mistake, glad I bought 2 packs. I don't think I've ever had an error from daddario before, but reminded me to ALWAYS inspect new strings before cutting old ones off.

Work just as they should. High quality

The strings give my ukulele, great sound! They match the online description in both length and size. I have used the D'Addario strings on several of my instruments, and they last well! They are a great price and I will buy them again!

This is the super good quality and I also include a free online course. Thank you.

installing Super easy - This is the first time I've installed new strings on my ukulele. I followed directions found on the Internet. I would recommend looking at how the strings are installed on your ukulele before removing them and try to mimic the same install. I used scissors to trim the strings. You will need to make sure to install the strings in the correct order - they are each sized differently for AECG. Mine were color coded and labeled. Tuning I bought these in June and it took 3 months before they were stretched enough so they will hold their tune. I try to play 2-3 times a week for at least 15-30 minutes. I'm not an expert player and just jam like everyone else. After tuning each string, they would stretch and be flat the very next day, so I'd tune them again and again - that went on for 3 months. I wasn't in a hurry and definitely didn't want to break the new strings. Tuning isn't difficult and the ukulele would stay in tune for a few songs before needing tuned again. Sound & Playing The strings sound bright and loud. They sound great once they are stretched and tuned. They are easy to hold down and strum as well. I have no complaints and would buy these strings again.

Love D'Addario strings

Easy install. They seem great so far!

The package of D’Addario EJ65B arrived today, and I immediately replaced my other strings, Cordoba, with these. After replacing the B string first and allowing for stretch, I began ringing it out with the old strings before replacing the other one. Instantly, the D’Addario’s sound on a scale of 1 to 10 was a 10+. Now that I have replaced all the strings, my $200 Cordoba baritone uke sounds like a more expensive instrument. D’Addario are masters when it comes to strings, bar none. These baritone strings come packaged extra long, which means there is plenty of room for wrapping at the bridge without worrying about short changing yourself when you wrap them at the peg head. Picking and strumming, at the same intensity as I did with the previous set of strings, the D’Addarios produce more volume, more clarity, richer tone, and easier string attack. This is the first review I have ever done for a product purchased from Amazon, and over the years I have purchased many different kinds of products from them. I always base my purchases on the reviews and if you do too, I hope my review convinces you to buy these strings, they are in my opinion the absolute best.

Belle projection d'un son doux et mélodieux. Après avoir essayé plusieurs autres marques de cordes, ce sont les seules qui donnent le meilleur résultat sur mon uk ( Mr MAI ML-T)

Good quality and sound.

Got a cheap uke ? Just buy it and it will sound better... got a expensive uke ? Still buy this and it will better interms of tonality , intonation and holding tune , pretty much the best thing string you can buy for a neutral tone

ソプラノ用だがコンサートにつけた。 フロロカーボンの角が立ったような音ではない。 ナイロンらしくまろやかでそれでいてクリアな音という気がする。 室温の変化でチューニングがかなり狂う。 わりと好きな音で満足。

Excelente.
