Worth C6 and B6 strings for six-string tenor ukulele
Review by Matt F. on 5 Jun 2018 review stating Worth C6 and B6 strings for six-string tenor ukulele So here's the deal: I believe these are good strings, but they are mislabeled on the packaging and the manufacturer's website. The owner of Worth Strings says I am wrong, they have sold these strings for 10 years all over the world, no one else has made such a claim.... but I am correct. See for yourself: the two C strings need to be swapped with the two A strings. The reason is simple: with these strings, the lower the notes, the thicker the diameter. This is true for all Worth string sets except their clear and and brown six string sets. The lowest note is the Low A, yet the thickest string is the mid C. The highest note is the high C, yet the thinnest string is the high A. My guess is there was a copy and paste error way back when, and never got sorted. But being wrong for 10 years doesn't make it more right. They kinda sorta work if you use them as labeled, but it won't be ideal.
Anyway, for the best possible sound and balanced string tensions, just swap both C strings for the two A strings. Viola, the gauges of the strings all fall into place as they should.
Side note: If you prefer wound bass strings, these Worth fluorocarbons pair very well with a Thomastik Infeld CF27 for the mid C, and a TI CF30 for the Low A. They are intended as classical guitar strings, but are also da bomb on tenor scale ukes (the CF 30 makes a great Low G string too!).
