Aquila Red Low G Tenor Ukulele Single String .039
For better or worse, I play a banjo ukulele. Reasons may vary. For me it's a portable way to generate quick ideas that I'll later demo on guitar.
I'm not thaaat picky about strings, but Aquila's are nice ukulele strings. On banjo uke especially, they sound a lot better than the flourinated hydrocarbon strings I'd been using. I was looking for a mellower and more rounded sound with a bit less volume. So that part was good.
However, the high G string was not working. It sounded so ear jabbing that I eventually just slung it under the bridge and made it a 3 string banjo. And then, I forget where, but I'd heard about using a low G (as in, one octave lower) on the top string particularly for banjo uke. So I thought I'd give that a try.
It works great. Highly recommended. This PSA has been brought to you in the hope we can all do our part to help save the world from the obscure terrors of bad banjo uke.
