I'd like to try aquila strings for my lanikai concert uke for better sound. there are 3-4 different concert aquilas. which one should I choose?

I would try the Aquila 7U set first. That is the set with a high G. If you prefer the low G, I suggest the Aquila 71U Red Series fourth string.

I've never played a ukulele, but they are fantastic on guitar strings. I can tell you there are variety of thicknesses in this pack, so you can choose your own personal preference. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

not sure if is has aquila strings but they are very good strings that come on it. i did purchase a set of aquila strings at the same time i purchased the instrument and still have not put them on because the existing strings sounds great and stays in tune well. also i would really recommend this instrument. it is very nice quality and with all the items it comes with is a great price.

Around the same price range...(*and note that tone is purely subjective - best thing to do is play as many as possible and find one that sounds good to you) I like the Eastman E6D and also the Seagull Coastline Series.

The OU2 I purchased in early Dec came with Aquila Nylgut on it. If yours doesn't have them why not try them and judge for yourself, for $6-8.00 what's to loose. Many reviewers seem to like them and my local music store spoke highly of them.

I have used my Hercules for a uke and it fits pretty well. (Maybe a hair wide, but doable.) The only thing I have ever seen the Hercules struggle with, but it still works, is a 12 string or a classical guitar. I now have my uke on a standard String Swing, which will not support a classical (2 inch neck). That works great and is a little cheaper, but NOT as secure in the least.

They might be a little long, but should be fine. I put concert Aquila strings on mine, with a low G.

Snark makes a violin tuner. Go to their website and see which model it is. Personally I have a ukulele tuner from snark and really like it. Small, accurate and easy to use. Love the big color display.

Aquila strings, or if you want more of a banjo twang, Aquilas with a wound C string. http://www.amazon.com/Aquila-AQ-28-Banjo-Ukulele-Strings/dp/B00MXUIMWS

The strings are nylgut strings not nylon as a guitar....they are certainly lighter. I don't know if they are gauged. Due to the C tuning on my ukulele the C string is the heaviest gauge then the E then the A then the G. Pop in the a music store and check them out many ukulele's have Aquila strings on the instrument when purchased.

I don't know; but, you could call a local music store that sells violins or check out DOMINANT on the web for this answer. They are VERY nice strings, though! SORRY!

Either would be a good choice for a beginner or an advanced player. Id get whichever one you could get the best price on.

i have both - i bought a soprano first, and then a few weeks later i bought a concert size. I enjoy playing both a lot. Unless your fingers and hands are ginormous, you should be able to play the soprano just fine. I don't think you'll go wrong with either. Aloha!

Yeah, I'm with you on that. I received the guitar shape uke and I love it. I would definitely confirm that you are getting the correct uke before purchasing, but I am very happy with the purchase.

I was not aware there were different sizes? I have 3 sets of these for years on 3 instruments maybe 50 string changes between them and I never paid attention which pin went where, I simply one day changed strings on all 3 acoustics, and on my favorite guitar I picked the six out of the 18 that had the best coloration of the shell, but I think they are all machined the same it dosnt matter.

The default strings were okay but I changed to aquila and the tone was better. It sounded more mellow and full.

i forgot the brand, but they were clear nylon for a tenor ukulele. if you plan on buying the ukulele, buy a different set of strings and wind them up yourself. strings that come with the ukulele dont stay tuned even if under heavy usage for 2 weeks (had to tune them every 2 or 3 hours). I mean, its expected with new strings that they wont stay in tune on its first time being used, but cmon? two weeks?? yeah, i bought a different set and it worked out fine.
