I got the titanium concert strings. They are so pretty though! And they feel great too. A lovely clear purple that has a glass-like texture that your fingers just glide on. The picture doesn’t do it justice. I’ve been exploring different string and I love the way these look and sound! They have a nice crisp and bright sound that is very appealing. They are also great at staying and tune (this could be the ukulele…) and durable too! If you are like me and have a habit of forgetting to change strings or being too lazy to do so, these work great.

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.

Good ukulele strings. Hold pitch. Sound bright. Well made. You can always count on D'Addario for high quality musical instrument components. Recommended.

D'Addario makes great strings, plain and simple. These sound great, and settle in quickly. Ukulele strings stretch a lot when you first replace them. These are no exception, but they do stabilize fairly quickly, then they stay in tune extremely well once settled in. They sound great for a long time, too. I have changed these less often than I expected.

These strings are packaged well, and they sound good too. The sound is definitely brighter than gut-like string. On first use, the "titanium" nylon strings definitely are leaning toward the feel and and sound of a steel string. I am wondering if they will mellow out a bit after stretching. Depending on the tonal nature of your instrument, the sound could get a bit too punchy. As for the feel, the smooth and glassy material is a definite upgrade over the texture of the strings that came on my Kala baritone uke. My fingers can glide over these strings without any stickiness or roughness. I'm ducking these a star based on usability issues when putting them on. They are so stiff that I needed to use a small set of pliers to pull them up over the bridge, as they were just stabbing the wood instead of flexing and gliding up over it. Additionally, the insanely clear material made it difficult to tie them the end of the bridge, as the ends and edges of the strings became practically invisible against the dark materials of my instrument. On that note: if aesthetics matter to you, the nylon strings can actually look invisible, depending on lighting conditions. It is a weird effect if you're not used to it or expecting it. I'll keep using these for now, but I'm not sure they will become a favorite.

As a new Ukulele player, I purchased a very inexpensive concert size ukulele here on Amazon. (Under $60.00) in January 2024. I wanted to experiment with a different string set to see if the Ukulele overall sound would improve. I decided to purchase a set of D'Addario Black Nylon strings. I strung them, tuned them and began to play. Like all strings they needed time to settle requiring constant tuning and stretching. For three weeks of playing about 2 hours daily, they sounded dull and lifeless with average tonation. Dissapointed, I began to consider alternatives. Suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere, the sound changed dramatically. Bright projection, excellent tonality and a warm feel when playing them. My point is, I now LOVE these strings and I am happy I had the patience to not dismiss them right away. Maybe it took longer for them to stretch/settle than other strings? I'm not sure but for all of the other new players out there, give your new strings time and play often. You will be happy with the results.

Husband got a ukulele for Christmas, broke a string, fast delivery and he is back to driving me crazy again😂

I put these on my uke when the winding on one string came undone. They have been on almost 1 year, still sound good and have held up well. I would buy again.

Bueno, les puse estas cuerdas a mi primer ukelele el año pasado, un uke del Lidl (sí, han leído bien, ésa birria de ukelele del Lidl, que estaba en super-oferta y no me pude resistir, allá por las navidades del 2011 al 2012...) que sonaba tan mal, que estaba por ahí colgado en alguna parte de la casa... pero con estas cuerdas, le di una oportunidad, y hombre, no es que sea el colmo de la maravilla porque donde no hay es muy difícil inventar... pero ha hecho que suene de forma decente, y sé que no me daría dolores de cabeza si acaso se me ocurre llevarlo algún día de parranda por alguna parte en medio del campo o de la playa, o de la jungla de asfalto... Aparte de eso, las he visto más baratas en otras partes, pero aún así, estas cuerdas de nylon dan un sonido agradable, brillante a veces, y ha mejorado muchísimo un UKElele (o UKUlele como le dicen los hawaiianos) que parecía de adorno, a pesar de no ser de la marca más típica de cuerdas, pero D'Addario ha hecho unas buenas cuerdas, que suenan todavía bien a un año y pico después de ponerlas...

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.

quando le ho comprate costavano 12 euro, subito dopo sono aumentate a 20, ogni tanto anche di più. a quel prezzo è esagerato. se costassero meno le potrei ricomprare. per il resto, aggiorno dopo qualche mese: ormai sono le mie corde preferite, perlomeno rispetto alle corde in nylon nero e rispetto alle Aquila. le Aquila sono buone corde, ma non capisco tutto il chiasso che si fa in merito, nessun mio ukulele ha acquistato volume e definizione con le Aquila New Nylgut o Super Nylgut, nè ho notato grosse qualità sonore come per le corde fluorocarbon, che invece offrono definizione, volume e chiarezza. al di là di questo, con le D'Addario mi sto trovando benissimo, il suono è definito, cristallino, molto vivo, e si presta benissimo sia allo strumming che al fingerpicking, le note sono sempre chiare e definite, si capisce bene ogni nota dell'accordo, quindi con accordi un po' più elaborati non si impazzisce nella confusione armonica. la tensione è fantastica, soprattutto per quanto concerne il bilanciamento tra le corde, e l'intonazione è impeccabile, cosa che non posso dire delle Aquila; ho avuto cinque mute della marca italiana, eppure tutte erano imprecise nell'intonazione. queste sono perfette, luce verde dell'accordatore ad ogni tasto. piccolo vantaggio, se si suona il soprano, è che ogni corda è molto lunga, quindi si riesce (stando attenti a non sprecare lunghezza) a ricavare due set di corde. con un Concerto non credo si possa ottenere lo stesso risultatao. c'è però da dire che il set Tenore ha esattamente la stessa scalatura, quindi potrebbe darsi che con quello si riescano ad ottenere due set da Concerto. devo ancora provare le famigerate Martin M600, che hanno le corde centrali leggermente più spesse e le corde esterne leggermente più sottili.

この弦もナット溝の調整をしっかりと行えば最高のサウンドを楽しめます。
