Year 2019 Instrument type Electric Builder / Manufacturer Kiesel Instrument Model Osiris O6 Top wood Alder Side wood Alder Back wood Alder Player Caires StringsComment
D'Addario strings last long and sound great for the price. I use this set of strings in drop C for a feel similar to 10 gauge strings in E standard tuning. Allows for high enough tension while still being able to bend. Maple neck, ebony fretboard and pickups are active humbuckers. Note: the low E is swapped out for a NW060. -

Strings chosen according to D'Addario String Tension Pro tension calculations. Started with concert ukulele strings changing tuning and strings until tensions approximated original concert uke. Mandolin tuning was chosen because I play mandolin and am interested in other voices but don't have time to commit to learning additional tunings. -

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. -

Worth CTs are perfect aside from a flabby low G but the Fremont Soloist balances the tension and tone.
