After the strings stretched in the strings tuned in very well and made my very inexpensive ukulele soun so much better taking out flat spots in tones and notes. My cheep uke with these strings made playing it very enjoyable and sound great. Will purchase agine.

My favorite strings for my tenor ukulele. I used to use nylgut but these have a much brighter sound. I also recommend them if you’re tuning with a low G string because it doesn’t need to be wrapped. So the tone of it fits better with the other strings while still having that satisfying low G. It’s likely a personal preference, but I just love the way they sound. Definitely try them out.

I was struggling to find the right ukulele strings, found out my ukulele is a baritone uke. My last 2 pair of 4 strings were snapped because i was tuning it like a reguler saprono uke. But i found this brand, and stringed it up my uke by myself i was scared of it snapping but it worked, was easy to use. But i had to keep tuning it back to D,G,B,E but i think its just because new strings and tention but other then that sounds amazing, I got the titanium baritone uke strings. Been playing it for a couple hours a day, just jamin it out and the strings are being broken in so i dont have to constantly tune it. Thank you i like the product very well i dont now much about strings still learning but looking foward to getting more. I was looking for steel type uke strings for my eletric baritone ukulele? It can plug into an amp... sorry for such a long review i give 5 stars

Considero o EJ65B da D'Addario um excelente encordoamento com ré grave. Sensação idêntica às cordas de violão, em tensão e textura. Cordas mais duras que aquelas "branquinhas" que tanto a D'Addario quanto a Aquila possuem. Cordas D3 e G3 revestidos com metal prateado, enquanto B3 e E4 são transparentes. Tocando na boca do instrumento ou próximo do rastilho gera um som brilhante idêntico ao violão. O volume de som gerado compete com qualquer instrumento. Se o seu cavalete é daqueles de prender a corda dando um nó na própria corda antes de inserir, verifique se a fissura da casa da corda Ré tem abertura suficiente para a grossura deste encordoamento. Se não, será preciso levar para um luthier lixar um pouquinho, pois a corda não entrará.

As cordas valorizaram muito o som de meu ukulele Leolani Mango (todo laminado).

Tienen una gran calidad de sonido, las mejores cuerdas que pude haber comprado. Desde que las puse, el sonido de mi ukulele mejoró notablemente.Las compré especialmente porque se supone que eran de un color púrpura translúcido, aunque realmente solo parecen ser transparentes, es el único “pero” que le pongo, porque realmente me llamaron mucho la atención por el color y quería algo diferente a las cuerdas habituales.Generalmente 11/10. Incluso sentí como si fuera un instrumento nuevo, con una acción perfecta y un tacto suave.

This review is for the D'Addario Titanium strings on a standard high G tenor ukulele. These strings are not bright. They are MUCH louder than the previous Nylgut strings that were on the instrument. To understand how they are not bright, use your fingernail to tap a piece of plastic on a bottle or some other hard plastic. Then tap a piece of wood. The plastic probably sounded brighter when you made contact and the wood sounded duller. That is how these strings compare. When my fingernails contact these Titanium strings there is no brightness. There is no attack or snap at the higher frequencies. I've heard fluorocarbon strings and don't like the brightness of those. The D'Addario strings are the opposite of those. Dull, no attack. On the other hand they are very loud. They have a punchiness to them.They sound OK. The material is softer than Nylgut. Which makes playing comfortable. On the other hand these strings have a slippery nature. The fingers don't land and remain in place. There is a tiny bit of slipping that requires extra attention.These strings were very difficult to install. No matter how many wraps were put on the ends they kept slipping and losing tune at the bridge. I have many years experience stringing classical guitars. I know how it is done. Classical guitar players use 400-600 grit sandpaper to smooth the fingernails for a better sound. I keep my fingernails smooth for playing ukulele too. To stop the strings at the bridge end from slipping I detached the strings for the third or fourth time and used sandpaper on the last few inches to make them rough. Doing this worked to stop the strings from slipping at the bridge end. Get sandpaper before you begin installing these strings and do the same the first time to save yourself a lot of annoyance.Will I buy these again? If they wear in and become a bit brighter, maybe. That is unlikely to happen but one never knows. Maybe the tone will win me over after a while. The material feels very soft. It might wear a bit and change the tone. These are very loud strings compared to the Aquila Nylgut that were on it. On my instrument some overtones can be heard with hard plucking of the strings. Is that good? It makes tuning a bit more work. It does add to the richness of the tone. My experience with these strings is short. I can say that they are not bright as advertised.Will these strings sound different in different humidity and temperatures? I sometimes use my ukulele at work where I demonstrate products to crowds. It is used to draw a crowd and then the presentation is begun. As weather changed and temperatures changed, my previous set of strings would at times be bright and at others become dull. That is why I changed strings. The last set was getting played over thirty hours per week and just wore out. The loudness of these Titanium strings will be beneficial. In time they'll get a lot of playing. I'll know soon enough if I want to get the same set a second time.

Update: After several months of use on my all koa tenor, I can easily say these are my favorite strings of all time. They are much thicker than most other uke brands, and really bring the low mids,but honestly, to me it feels like an orchestra is under my fingers, I can get any tone I want out of them with very little effort, Previously my favorite sounding strings were Worth browns,they sound great in the studio but but they are a little low energy for my gigs (weddings,private parties, etc) and I always liked the volume Aquilas brought, but not the harshness and rattle; these are the best of both worlds to me. Just tried Worth clears, and I still like these better (although the worth clears have a heavy gauge too, I will check that out in the future). $5????????????? I guess these must be repackaged pro arte trimmings but I don't care, they're awesome,Original review:I am a pro player. I have used Aquilas and find them to be good, loud strings. But for my new koa Island Ukulele, which was strung with Aquilas from the shop or luthier, I ran into a problem where the Uke returns so much energy that the A string actually rattled on the bridge, creating a fret-buzz-like tone (I've seen a negative review of Island Ukes where the player thought they had bad fret buzz, I can almost guarantee this is actually what they were experiencing- the Uke actually vibrates TOO much for the unforgiving nylgut strings- kind of a good problem to have if you ask me. One option would be to replace the bridge with wood or another slightly softer material, but I had success using a little piece of foam around the string below the bridge, problem solved, in a slightly ugly way). And frankly, I didn't feel the spanky nylgut tone was doing the best this Uke could do. Worth doesn't make a wound low G as far as I can find, but I LOVE worth brown strings. What I may end up doing long term is buying those and finding an excellent guitar string to use as a low G, I've used Augustines in the past with good results. Or cut the nut to fit the heavy low G fluorocarbon. We'll see about that.Anyway, I tried these pro arte strings since I already use them for my nylon guitar, had never used clear nylon strings on a uke before. Holy cow, these things are thick, had to widen the C and A slots slightly to accommodate (I have proper nut slotting files). But the tone is like a big, warm, soft blanket. I really love it. I can get a velvety thumb sound, a very mellow first finger Tiny Tim strum sound, and my back of the fingernails strum is loud but not harsh. And It DOES NOT sound like a guitar, which I was concerned about. Worth brown strings also have a pleasing warm tone, but are so thin, I just don't know that they'll deliver the kinetic energy these strings do. I feel like I'm barely working and filling up a lot of sonic space. There are dead spots on the fretboard, as with any fretted instrument, but in playing chords the fundamentals are so strong the dead spots are indistinguishable.I notice another review of these strings that notes these are intended for ADF#B tuning, but I didn't notice that in any fine print, and the packaging clearly states GCEA strings (it's called a low g set after all). I think ALL Ukes probably perform better when tuned up to D6 tuning, but it's harder on your fingers for every day playing, and no client has ever walked up to me and said "golly, if only you tuned up to D, your tone would have been that much brighter, and I'd have given you a bigger tip."At any rate, I'm loving the tone and playability so far. I do notice they're taking FOREVER to settle into tune for more than than 10 minutes or so, not even close overnight after 5 days and two gigs. I suppose they act the same on my guitar, but it is taking a while, nothing like nylgut, those things stay in tune after a day or 2. Not that I don't tune every time I pick up my instrument, because I do, but these aren't even close. Yet.If my opinion changes, I will alter my review, but this this point, I am really enjoying the robust feel and the velvet fog tone these strings project (sorry Mel). BTW, one pack I ordered had a PLAIN low G in it, an absolute packaging mistake, glad I bought 2 packs. I don't think I've ever had an error from daddario before, but reminded me to ALWAYS inspect new strings before cutting old ones off.
