Acquistata per ukulele tenore, preferisco un'accordatura con il sol basso e queste corde hanno un ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. Utilizzo professionale.

It sounded awful in a set with strings 1-3 being common (non-wound) nylon strings. Very dissonant sound with the low G string vibrating much too long and loud. One other review claims that this dissonance goes away over a week's time. I was not patient enough to find out, because I don't find any pleasure in playing on an instrument that sounds bad. Because of this I then just reordered a common set of (non-wound) nylon strings in order of thickness (thickest on 4/G, thinnest on 1/A). Tuned it to low G and it instantly sounded wonderful and the string tension is perfect. I suggest to everyone to try doing that before ordering a wound low G string...

I loved my ukulele the way it was, but after my husband put on a low G on my ukulele it sounds even better. Beautiful like a guitar

The string was as expected, a low G, wound tenor uke string. I put it on my uke and it was just what you'd expect and hope. No bad surprises. Shipping was about 2 weeks faster than it said too during this time of quarantine! It made my uke sound closer to a guitar, lowering the high G to a low G. In my opinion it works better for rock songs than the traditional uke strings with that high G. You do need to retune pretty constantly when it's new and stretching, so play a lot!

Publicación engañosa. Hablan de un SET de cuerdas y solo viene la Low G! Volví a leer TODA la publicación y está mal. Primero un set y luego single string. El producto es buenísimo lastima.

In general, the Aquila brand is never a bad choice. This "wound" string might overpower the other fluorocarbon or nylon strings on your uke so I think this might not be everyone's choice but it matches my setup nicely. After a few years of learning and playing my uke unplugged and strictly acoustically, I have lately been playing thru an amp and experimenting some with pedals and looking for "my own sound". Currently playing thru a Fender amp and a "Hall of Fame" reverb and experimenting with fluorocarbon strings of varying gauges to better accommodate bending of strings, it is allowing me to merge into more lead guitar styles and techniques. Honestly, I am pleasantly surprised with the sound and possibilities of a plugged in uke. The negatives are that the low "wound" G tends to wear out twice as fast and is also a bit expensive to buy in single string units. Plus, you might begin to notice some small strings noise with a "wound" string. For me though, the new tones and harmonies that I am coaxing out of my other strings, this low "wound" G matches well with the rest of my setup. I will say that the positives outweigh the negatives. Love the tone and I give four out of five stars, would give five stars if the string was more durable or if it could be offered in bulk or with some options for a lesser price.

I had my G string replaced with a low G string. Someone I trusted at the music store, chose a classical guitar string to replace it. So awful. It reverberated, and hummed with the other strings. SO, having been playing for several years, I bought this string from a trusted company, Aquila. I can put them on myself, no problem, (and should have done that in the first place). The Aquila plays just fine. The other strings on my ukulele are Aquila too. I love this brand, and have great success with them. They last a long time. So you really get the bang for your buck. Last Aquila strings settle in very well. I only had to adjust the tuning a couple of times before it held the note.

It's a low G ukulele string from the most popular and respected ukulele string makers. A low G string on a tenor uke is a Hawaiian standard. I know because I'm from Hawaii. If you want a fuller sound without going into baratone ukulele territory (different tuning and chord shapes) the low G tenor is a good middle ground. Just make sure you tighten the string slowly because the metal wound string won't have as much stretch as the nylgut string. I broke my first low G that way. Buy 2 just in case you break the first one. The wound string wears and oxydizes faster anyway so you'll have to change it twice as frequent as your other strings. Still worth it.
