Product unusable. I cannot tune my baritone ukulele to GCEA. The first string broke twice.

I wasn’t adapting to the Baritone uke standard tuning and I wanted to use it in rotation with my smaller ukes, so I got a set of these GCEA’s. I am very happy with the tone. I got another set for my nephew to try and convert a 30” guitarlele.

These strings are nice and controlled, they're balanced in terms of being both bright and detailed while also having some soulful, deep harmonics. That said, I ordered two packages and I'm glad I did because both the A & E strings broke on proper installation when trying to get to the 4th octave (normal Uke octave). It was not clear to me whether these were designed to go to G4 C4 E4 A4 or to stay in the 3rd octave where the baritone normally plays. I confirmed these are made to go to normal Uke pitch (4th octave) and tried the second set and it worked without breaks. Love them so far, but skeptical they will last as I think that they are literally at their limit of tension for their gauge setup how they are intended.11 month Update:. The A string broke while not in use after 11 months. Restrung it with the same string twice but it was too weak and would not achieve tune. Order a third set. Will look for something different that's more durable soon. Should not take 3 sets to last a year of occasional use.

Got the strings on time. Put them on my Caramel Baritone uke. They sounded good.....however after 3 days, the "C" string broke. Used the original "B" string and tightened . Worked okay , sounded ok.

117U are excellent strings for the Baritone ukelele tuned GCEA. Tuned easily and the A string doesn't break like Aquila 23U set.

Auf meiner Bariton Ukulele spielte ich bisher Aquila Saiten in der normalen Stimmung d-g-h-e'. Für Gitarristen mag diese Stimmung recht einfach sein, ich hatte jedoch als Ukulelen Anfänger große Schwierigkeiten damit, besonders bei den "schwierig" zu greifenden Akkorden. Deshalb entschloß ich mich für diese speziellen Bariton Saiten in g-c-e-a. Soweit ich weiß, gibt es diese Stimmung nur von Aquila. Der Erfolg stellte sich schnell ein, das Spielen fiel mir nun bedeutend leichter und machte endlich Spaß! Ein Riesenvorteil ist außerdem, daß man nun die vielen Lehrbücher, Videos usw. für Sopran, Concert und Tenor nutzen kann – für die exotische Bariton gibt es bekanntlich nur sehr wenig davon.ACHTUNG: Namen und Reihenfolge der Saiten sind zwar die gleichen wie für S, C und T, jedoch eine Oktave tiefer gestimmt mit g-c-e-a (also NICHT g'-c'-e'-a'). Ferner ist zu beachten, daß alle Saiten langsam in Stimmung zu bringen sind, sie brauchen etwa 1 Woche, bis sie die Stimmung halten. Fazit: Diese Saiten sind sehr leicht und angenehm zu greifen, ich bin damit sehr zufrieden.

Ich wollte mit diesem Set meine Baritonukulele auf gcea stimmen. Hat aber nicht so toll funktioniert, weil...... in gcea die Saitenspannung extrem gering ist und die Saiten schlabbern.... in g'c'e'a' die Saitenspannung extrem hoch ist. Weil die Saiten dünn sind, ist das Griffgefühl aufgrund der höheren Kraft, die man benötigt unschön.Lässt sich beides überhaupt nicht schön spielen.(Der Support von Aquila bestätigte mir, dass diese Saiten für g'c'e'a gedacht seien.)Stimmt man die Saiten in dgbe', ist die Spannung normal. Es erweckt denn Anschein, als würde Aquila hier einen normalen dgbe' Satz als gcea/g'c'e'a' verkaufen wollen.Sonstiges: Der Versand durch SchneiderMusik war extrem schnell und die Lieferung war einen Tag später im Briefkasten.
