Year 2005 Instrument type Ukulele Builder / Manufacturer Ko'olau Instrument Model 300 SP Top wood Spruce Side wood Rosewood Back wood Rosewood Player Craig Brandau StringsComment
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. -

I prefer these strings as firstly they provide great sound on my guitar, and although it is not anywhere near a great professional guitar, it makes it sound close to one! It also has amazing, crisp trebles and basses, lasts for a good period of time, and feels good on my fingers. -
Year 2005 Instrument type Flamenco Builder / Manufacturer Lester DeVoe Instrument Model Flamenca negra Top wood Spruce Side wood Rosewood Back wood Rosewood Player Robin Matsunaga StringsComment
The top is carved very thin for responsiveness and volume, but the top flexibility accentuates bass response. The Savarez corum basses are not as strong as the Cantiga, while the HT Alliance carbon trebles offset the bass response of the negra. I have not been able to find any other combination that provides such a balanced sound for this model.
