AquilaNew Nylgut AQ-15 Tenor Ukulele Strings - Wound Low G - 1 Set of 4

Five stars overall - great sounding strings. Be aware that the wound 4th string won't last as long as the others that come with this set. Aquila's website warns you of this, but the amazon product page does not. From Aquila's website: "Please read: the wound strings used for all Aquila ukulele sets such as soprano low G, concert low G, tenor low G, baritone in guitar tuning, and a few other varieties that use a wound string, use a very fine wire wrapping on the wound strings in order to produce their excellent tone. These strings do not have the long life span of the more durable but poor sounding wound strings offered by other manufacturers. Players who use Aquila ukulele sets with wound strings please be aware that the wound strings will need to be replaced much more often than the plain Nylgut strings that make up the rest of the set. We advise that players purchase 3 or 4 extra single wound strings with every set. When played often a wound string may last only about 1-2 weeks, which is also dependent on the condition of the frets. This is considered to be normal wear for these strings and is not a defective string. Thank you for your understanding."

I have played guitars for years but the tenor ukulele is the newest toy for me and after some weeks now, I am absolutely having a ball with it. I am not sure what strings were on my ukulele when I bought it but my first set of purchased strings were Aquila with the high g and I really liked them. Now, my second purchased set of string are the same brand but with the low G string. If you are new to the ukulele like myself, some really novice information for you is that the lower G really fills out the sound and seems to fit more naturally into the scale of things but the high G is kinda cool too. The high g tends to be more in line for the more banjo style picking and well just more interesting strumming sounds and styles and harmonics, in general. Just now really starting to understand how versatile this instrument can be. I definitely like the Aquila brand. Today, it is more of just having a dilemma on which G to play with because both have their own merits. Probably will have to go and buy another ukulele so I can have both options. Always, open minded to hear and learn from those out there that have the experience so please feel free to respond.

I switched my ukulele nylon stock strings high-G to low-G and the sound is amazing. I enjoy both but I’m learning how to play and so far this is my second set of different strings. I have a tenor ukulele, the sound is more similar to a guitar in my ear specially when I plug it into an acústic amp. The only thing that I noticed is that they get out of tune quickly. But I put the string on myself so for the first time ever, so at this point I am experimenting, learning and loving it!

I recently bought a Cordoba 20TM-CE Acoustic Electric Tenor Ukulele, but it was strung with a high G string. The main reason for me to get a tenor rather than a soprano was for the richer low G sound, so I ordered this pack of Aquilas! I restrung my uke and it sounds terrific! The strings are bright and rich, and the low G adds an overall fuller sound in my opinion.If you don't mind a wound G string, you'll love this pack! At first it was odd playing with a wound string like a guitar, but I got used to it. I believe the main downside of having a wound G rather than unwound is that the tone of it does not quite match the other strings as well when fingerpicking and such. However, I still love the rich sound it brings to my uke! Highly recommended!

I've 5 ukes, a couple of starter Lohanu's, a great limited edition Spruce top Kala, a Kanilea Islander, and a Kanilea K2T, and they've all been received with Aquila strings.I've never had a problem with the strings, but wanted to try Worth Clear Fluoros on my Kala.Today I replaced the Worth (low) G string with an Aquila wound (low) G string because the Worth string sounded dull, quite lifeless, compared to an Aquila string. The 1-3 Worth strings are ok, so they will remain on the Kala until it's time to replace them - and they'll be replaced with Aquilas.

Gave my Fender Rincon a lot more volume when not on amp. But my finger tips hurt more when I pick. I've taken into account there is a wound low G, but I have 12 string acoustic/electric with wounds and don't remember it bothering me. Getting used to the low G sound and enjoying it more each time, but have string buzz now that wasn't there before and think I will have to adjust the nut a bit. Satisfied.

Wow! I was about to sell my ukulele because I had tried many brands of strings on it and it just was not sounding the way I wanted it to sound. I popped these strings on my ukulele and started tuning them up. These strings seem to stretch out more than other brands I have played with (on the first tune up), so it feels like you are winding for a long time without much change in the tune. However, once they get to their more settled point and you start to play, you will fall in love! I can't seem to put it down now!! They are very punchy and bright! It is exactly what I was missing and now I can/want (to) play my ukulele long enough to get in the zone. I would highly recommend them and I feel they are well worth the money!!------- Update ----------I have been playing on them for about 20 days now and I still like them just as much as day one! I usually have to do minor tweaks to the tuning before playing. Low G still has a rich sound to it as well. It (low G) has slight fret marks warn in to it from the playing. All the strings still have a great amount of volume as well. I will update if I come across anything important!

These strings paired well on my homemade tenor ukulele with a spruce top.
