Ukulele Strings - Fluorocarbon/Nylgut & Nylon Strings for Beginners

Reposted from the Southern Ukulele Store channel. I made this video in 2018 to explain the differences between Nylon, Fluorocarbon and Nylgut strings.

Hello, i wanna try D´Addario EJ99TLG on my Enya Nova U Tenor. It will be okay??

[@MrsDallimore08]

Hi Alex, can a worth browns CT-LG set be fitted on a baritone as a GCEA setup or do I need a baritone GCEA set?

[@UkesWithAlex]

I used to have a customer who did that... He used to say it sounded great and worked great and yet he was always snapping strings. My gut feeling is that it works... For a little while.

[@MrsDallimore08]

Ah well that’s not good. So which string set should I get for my Pono baritone?

[@UkesWithAlex]

If you want GCEA then either Aquila 117u or our custom D'addario set of GCEA strings.
Ken Middleton and his living water strings do a Bari GCEA set but we don't sell them at SUS.

Alex, did you ever try the Italian brand GALLI fluorocarbon strings?

[@UkesWithAlex]

Only the bass strings I'm afraid

[@liannejohnson5491]

Ha ha I got excited cuz I thought you made another video on strings! But I'm happy to watch this one again, your string info has been so helpful to me...so thanks. Again! :D

[@UkesWithAlex]

Thanks. I will be making a new string video in Feb/March... Just need to find a couple more hours in the day. 😂
I just get asked for this information so so much I wanted to reupload it from my channel so that people find this channel easier.

Thanks Alex - that was super useful

[@UkesWithAlex]

My pleasure

[@e.castlerock8454]

Excellent video. Perhaps a dumb question, but if you have weak finger strength and numbness in the tips, would thicker or thinner strings make a difference in pressing down on the fingerboard?

[@UkesWithAlex]

You want softer tension strings and ideally a thinner string. The trade off is less volume or sustain

[@e.castlerock8454]

@@UkesWithAlex - Thanks. I'll rewatch the video because I know you mentioned at least one that is thin. I bought Martin M600's a while ago, but I haven't yet tried them.

[@damienlicata5968]

Alex, what's your take on Living Water strings?

[@UkesWithAlex]

They are fine but they are basically Worth clears in different packaging.

You’re a natural man, that was a great informative video, thank you.
