In contrast to the many other ukulele strings on the market, the Savarez is an evolutionary step forward in playability, feel and sound. I really like the wound 544R for the low G string because they provide the wound bottom sound I love. Works great for all types and size ukes as well as Fluke and Flea Ukes. -
