AquilaSugar Series AQSU-CR 152U Concert Ukulele String Set String

These strings are fantastic and they really boost a muted/dull sounding ukulele. The strings are very bright and they have amazing sustain especially noticeable on high frets. The strings also get in tune and stay in tune very quickly. Since I live in the south I have tried going from air conditioning to 100 degrees + high humidity and the strings stay in tune. These are great strings, but they do have a squeak initially, however; it goes away over time. The squeak is only present if you have very dry skin. I wash my hands a lot because I don't like having oily hands but my daughter who plays ukulele too has very soft hands and the strings don't squeak at all when she plays. Essentially, by playing on these strings over time the oil from your hands will coat the strings and the issue subsides. I also think the stings are not as hard on your fingers as the Nylgut strings and they seem less abrasive. This is most noticeable when finger picking with the pads of your fingers.

Used these on a resonator uke to replace original strings. They sound so much better but squeaked a lot at first. The more you play them the better they seem to get.

I put these on my Donner DUC-1 mahogany concert ukulele, and it doubled the volume. I almost have the sense that the sound is coming from in front of the ukulele, it projects so much. For the first time, I can always hear myself when strumming with a large group. But be warned, the strings squeak when plucked. The squeak diminishes over time but doesn't entirely go away. The maker recommends using hand lotion to minimize the squeak. I know he has been tinkering with the formula, so later versions may not squeak so much.Update: There was something just a little strange about the sound of these strings. When I replaced them with fluorocarbbon strings, it sounded much more natural.

The C string took a few weeks to settle down but has been ok since then. The squeaking other reviewers have eluded to is unworthy of mention.

Good but very squeaking strings still after a few month not the sellers fault .

Bisher empfand ich den Klang und die Griffigkeit der Aquila Saiten super... Die Sugar-Saiten haben einen tollen Klang der die Ukulele leicht vibrieren lässt. Leider quitschen die Saiten beim Solo ohne Ende und sind im Vergleich zu den Nylgut Saiten gummiartig bei den Griffen. Schade...

弦に触れると、黒板を引っかくようなキュッ音。鳥肌が立ちます。速攻で外しました。大失敗でした。
