D'Addario Concert Ukulele Strings, Titanium, EJ87C, 4-String Set, Pack of 1

Had always used Aquila strings on my concert uke as they seem to be universally acknowledged as the only ones to have! However, on searching the store to order a new set I read the blurb about d'dadario titanium strings and risked buying a set!They are transparent with a slightly purple hue and look very smart. The G in the set I received was long enough to install with enough spare to provide a replacement, don't know if this is intentional but it's a welcome bonus as it always seems to be the G that breaks first!The tension across the strings seems even but slightly tighter than Aquilas preventing unwanted string bending when fretting chords. The tone is distinctly bright with increased sustain producing a very pleasing tone, especially if you use a finger picking style, which as a guitarist, I do.This clearer, sharper sound delivers credibility to the instrument as a serious one and not a plinky plonky comedy tool!Consequently I have been encouraged to play my uke much more and that has to be good.

I fitted these for my Cordoba 24C concert.They were a great improvement on the Aquila Nylgut fitted on purchase and are great for strumming and thumb chord / melody arrangements where they give a really vibrant tone in the upper registers.However they are not so good for my type of fingerstyle playing where I used the fleshy part of my fingers rather than just the fingernail. The strings are a bit too thin to have the right response.Having said that, I generally use my tenor and baritone ukes for fingestyle. If you are into fingerstyle playing then I would recommend the D'addario fluorocarbon strings.

Really like these, won't buy any others for my banjolele or concert Enya.

Nice strings, they have a monofilament core and they have a purple-ish tinge to them. They are very bright sounding and really loud. They improved a soprano that had some projection issues and I like them for their feel. Slightly glossy feel but mild on the fingers.

I had been using other strings up until this purchase and now all I will use going forward are these strings. The sound quality is amazing and they are long lasting. Quality product. Thank you.

Nice bright sound. Have taken quite a long time to bed in, which has meant continually re-tuning. But finally settled in.

I bought these strings for a cheap soprano ukulele that I wanted to sound better and I can only say what a difference! The strings felt like glass and made the overall sound brighter. My only criticism would be that I had selected the soprano option but received concert strings. They fitted fine, but just be aware of this if your buying strings for a bigger ukulele.

Very good
