Fluorocarbon

I've been playing uke and other (both steel and nylon) string instruments for many decades. These are wonderful strings and they sound terrific. You can play them soon after installing with more frequent tuning, but allow about 48+hrs for the new strings to stretch and 'stabilize', and then they are really great... and I love the low 4th (EJ99TLG) string! One minor caution: These strings are super-slippery, great for playing but 'slipping' might be a potential problem below the bridge... if you encounter any 'slipping' problem (especially tying/securing them below the bridge*), carefully 'rough up' the string surfaces (ONLY in this area) with very fine sandpaper or nail file (eg emery board) and they should work just fine. Will definitely repurchase... I love 'um! *If you are still tying your strings below your bridge, do yourself a favor and buy a set of Guitar String BridgeBeads (available via Amazon.com) and your instrument will sound 'brighter' and makes restringing easier. Play daily and have fun! One more CAUTION: Be extremely careful when ordering from the Amazon website... I just opened a new set of strings that I have had for some time and I accidentally had the WRONG SET (EJ99T) of 'Nyltech' instead of 'Fluorocarbon' (EJ99TLG)... the outside packaging looks almost identical and you can 'jump' to the wrong string set very easily when ordering on the Amazon website... whether I ordered the wrong set or was sent the wrong set I have no idea, but be extremely careful when ordering and 'double check' the string code in the UR corner to make sure you are ordering the correct set of strings. D'Addario is a good company with good products but I DON'T LIKE the Nyltech (EJ88T) strings...do yourself a favor and get the D'Addario FLUOROCARBON ((EJ99T or EJ99TLG) strings... I think they sound, feel and play much better.

Pretty new to uke. Only a couple years and haven't really taken it very seriously. Even though I have a few of them. I've always disliked the little G4 4th string and wanted to drop it to G3, try it out, as I've never tried a G3 uke. It's awesome. I did have to file my 4th string nut slot, but was quick and easy with a cheap set of nut files I got. Not difficult at all, took less than a minute. The 1st string needed an extra couple wraps at the bridge. The G3 string was kinda tough to tie, being so thick. It is certainly the string that needs to stretch the most. It is wonderful and feels so meaty on the thumb, it's so much better to play for a guitar player. They sound amazing, I love it. That G3 hits a perfect harmonic resonance that really projects. They are crisp and clean sounding. They feel great, and strong. The uke is much nicer to fingerpick on now. Still on day one, but I can tell these strings are just a huge upgrade to my uke and I'm going to love them. Edit: Here we are, 8 days shy of 1 year later on the same strings. I still absolutely love them. They sound great, and I certainly prefer them over any other uke strings I've had on a uke. They REALLY brightened up with the sound after the first couple weeks and haven't dipped in quality of that sound so far. Still great.

Bought a Kmise tenor because 1) it is a VERY inexpensive instrument online and 2) all I want it for is to have a low-G tuning option at the ready. (Side note: this hobby is so affordable!) I first bought an Aquila low-G string and turns out that was a wound string - I had no idea, but the wound string squeaked during my finger movement and that string resonated so much that the sound overwhelmed the chord with a constant humming. Bottom line: it sounded horrible, not to mention that the original strings on the Kmise tenor are no doubt not top quality strings, but there is no doubt that the wound low-G Aquila string hummed because I could pluck the open string and that was the sound I was hearing during any card strumming. Once I realized that I didn't like the squeaking of the wound string I decided to replace all the strings and went with D'addario since I have those on my baritone, concert and soprano ukes and they sound great and stay in tune VERY well. Noticed an IMMEDIATE difference when I strung my tenor uke with these as 1) the squeak is gone and 2) the sound is greatly improved (no doubt this being a factor of also replacing the originally strung C-E-A strings with these high quality strings. Bottom line: I learned at a very low cost that I do not like wound strings and I'm a D'addario string guy - I'll stick with them as I now have consistent satisfaction with their strings on my uses.

Good ukulele strings. Hold pitch. Sound bright. Well made. You can always count on D'Addario for high quality musical instrument components. Recommended.

Great strings with fantastic sound. It took a while for them to set fully but besides that they are extremely good strings.

So, the most important thing about these strings is the sound. They are mellow but loud, and I wasn't sure if the low G would be wound or unwound. It is unwound and I love that, it fits into my tenor without modification and nicely meshes with the other strings versus a wound G that comes with most imitation gut strings, which tends to be a bit louder/boomy. The strings have volume and are nicely mellow. The ukulele these went on is a pacific walnut Kala with a laminate soundboard, and thus tends to make strings sound dull. Not these, I love them. That said, I want to stress that if you are coming from gut strings, these do *not* stretch nearly as much, and some care needs to be taken in installing them on your instrument. Somewhat slippery, they require an extra turn in the bridge knot/loop. And because they do not stretch nearly so much, extra care needs to be taken to not break the high A string, which I managed to break twice before I successfully strung my instrument with them. There is nothing wrong with them in this regard, I was just overzealous in pulling on them to get the stretch out. So, please enjoy the strings, but take care. They are great.

I've used D'Addario strings on all my instruments for more than 20 years and have never had any issues with them breaking or not staying in tune. This set was very easy to install, tuned up quickly, and once the strings stopped stretching, they stayed in tune. They look good, sound good, and you can't beat the price for the quality.

I am in love with these strings. I received my ukulele with Aquila strings, which is almost standard, and they are great as well, but these sound much better on my ukulele. I experimented with these and D'Addario's black nylon strings and I much prefer these. The black nylon just was too dark and warm for my ukulele and sounded a little dull, but they have a rich sound if you're interested in trying them too. The fluorocarbons aren't too bright, they are a phenomenal sound which is sweet and can be played loudly or softly. They're clear in both appearance and sound and are inexpensive while providing outstanding quality. I will most likely buy these strings again when they time comes, if not, it'll be experimentation with other fluorocarbon strings, not nylgut or super nylgut. My only minor grievance is that they buzz when plucked hard but I don't know enough to say whether it's the string set up or a feature of fluorocarbon. These take maybe a week to settle or so, from my ears at least. They sounded their best after that time and after they stretched. You will have to tune these for a little bit each time you play, but as I write this now, each string is holding its tune, save the C string which just requires a little tweaking.

quando le ho comprate costavano 12 euro, subito dopo sono aumentate a 20, ogni tanto anche di più. a quel prezzo è esagerato. se costassero meno le potrei ricomprare. per il resto, aggiorno dopo qualche mese: ormai sono le mie corde preferite, perlomeno rispetto alle corde in nylon nero e rispetto alle Aquila. le Aquila sono buone corde, ma non capisco tutto il chiasso che si fa in merito, nessun mio ukulele ha acquistato volume e definizione con le Aquila New Nylgut o Super Nylgut, nè ho notato grosse qualità sonore come per le corde fluorocarbon, che invece offrono definizione, volume e chiarezza. al di là di questo, con le D'Addario mi sto trovando benissimo, il suono è definito, cristallino, molto vivo, e si presta benissimo sia allo strumming che al fingerpicking, le note sono sempre chiare e definite, si capisce bene ogni nota dell'accordo, quindi con accordi un po' più elaborati non si impazzisce nella confusione armonica. la tensione è fantastica, soprattutto per quanto concerne il bilanciamento tra le corde, e l'intonazione è impeccabile, cosa che non posso dire delle Aquila; ho avuto cinque mute della marca italiana, eppure tutte erano imprecise nell'intonazione. queste sono perfette, luce verde dell'accordatore ad ogni tasto. piccolo vantaggio, se si suona il soprano, è che ogni corda è molto lunga, quindi si riesce (stando attenti a non sprecare lunghezza) a ricavare due set di corde. con un Concerto non credo si possa ottenere lo stesso risultatao. c'è però da dire che il set Tenore ha esattamente la stessa scalatura, quindi potrebbe darsi che con quello si riescano ad ottenere due set da Concerto. devo ancora provare le famigerate Martin M600, che hanno le corde centrali leggermente più spesse e le corde esterne leggermente più sottili.

Obvious improvement in the quality of the sound after replacing with these strings. Sound is now bright with longer sustain. The low-G also add to the improvement. Previous high-G has that empty tin canned sound coming from it.

I will stay with these

Cuerdas de fluorocarbono y de color transparente. Muy bien protegidas y marcadas por colores cada una (A-E-C-G). Tras el cambio al Ukelele tamaño concierto el resultado ha sido un sonido limpio, sin rebotes ni vibraciones sobrantes (sobre todo en la cuerda G), sonido más brillante y precioso. Salto gigante en cuanto a sonido desde las supernylgut. Por contra, tras 8 días sigo afinando bastante... Espero se estabilicen pronto para sólo ajustar un poco.

J’utilise déjà la version ténor de ces cordes sur 2 de mes ukulele ténors et je les apprécie réellement. Malheureusement ces cordes pour baryton n’ont pas la même brillance ni même chaleur que la version pour tenor. Elle sont un peu plus mellow et ont un son plus plat, moins cristallin que les 99tG. Elles conviendront à ceux qui souhaitent un son proche de cordes en nylon.
