Aquila Sugar, Reds and Carbonblacks, Worth Browns and Fremont are my favorite ones at the moment. Thanks for the video!

Nice compilation video Alex. For the strings in this video my favorites were. 1. Aquila Lava 2. Worth Brown 3. Aquila AG X AQ You have officially piqued my interest about the new ukulele.😁

Wow, super helpful, Alex...and that's a lot of restringing! Thank you! I enjoyed them all but both worth browns were my faves right this minute...I bet that would change if I watched again at another time, because they all do really offer something slightly different. Another awesome string video! Thanks again for your exceptional efforts! :)

My favourites are D'Addario EJ65T clear Nylon and Aquila Super Nylgut - I watched the video like a blind test, only looking up when I heard something that stand out to me exceptionaly. Thank you for doing this!

Great comparison! Thank you!

It would be great hear Martin stings included in the next ‘string shoot out’!

Yes!! I love this video, I usually like worth’s and titanium but all those d’addario sounded great. I’ve actually been liking the Enya strings too. They have a great percussive sound with out sounding too plasticy. I’d love to see some other brands, maybe less heard of ones 👍

Great shootout Alex! You should definitely try the Martin M620s on that ukulele. I loved the sound of the Worth CT and was surprised by the Aquila Sugar. Nice as well 🙂

Thanks for the comparison 👍🏻

Thanks for that video it was really informative to see a side by side comparison. Cheers, Andy

daymn another string video. :) alooooooot restringing. Ty. all my ukes works well with clear fluo, i dont need to punch my uke to get good volume.

I have same TABASCO shirts, bought it at Target. Thanks for the video!

I know sound preferences are subjective, but that said, I just replaced Aquila Nylguts on my Ohana solid Koa concert with Worth Browns, and the difference is staggering! Every youtube video showed the Browns coming across so much richer with more resonance and sustain. In person, it was even more amazing than the video! You can feel and hear the note ringing and resonating like nothing else! Yes, the Worth’s are fiddly to install when you cut them in half, but I still tied off and had about 3-4 windings left at the top pegs. IMO Nylguts make a laminated uke sound good, but make a solid wood uke sound cheap. Aquilas have this plasticky plinky sound when first struck. The Worth Browns are so rich, it’s all I want on all my solid ukes and might try them on some of my better laminates. Something about whatever they added to make the strings brown make them so much richer in sound than the clears. They are also the slickest strings I have ever felt and sliding chords are now effortless! Even on your video, through my ipad speaker, the richness of the Worth Browns come through like a freight train! That said, I do like D’Addario Flourocarbons becuase they are a light gage and easier for my wife to play, because she is just starting out. But on your video, they come across as a much thinner sound, making me rethink changing those out as well.

Aquilla's sound similar as you would expect. I've chosen the D'addarios with a low G plain for my tenor as many brands want the 4th string to be wound. I'm moving away from the OEM Aquilas on my other ukes and moving to fluorocarbons which have a nice musical ring.

Thanks Alex!! I must say I have flipped through a couple of your videos several times trying to compare each, it is so nice of you to put it all in one, less breaks in between playing to compare, really appreciate this!! I love the d’addario black nylon, but I am trying new things, just bought some Aquila sugars to put on my flight travel soprano, it was a close race with the Aquila reds, I may try those next on there. I just tried Martin M600 on my Luna mahogany concert, I think I will try either the brown worths , or Fremont black next on that one. As someone else said in the comments I need more ukes so I can have all my favorite strings on different ones!

It's very reassuring to hear the same thing from your tests as I hear at home. That is to say the Worth Clear Tenor set just sings and sing. They sound very clear, bright and true yet without being overly percussive. In spite of their clear, bright tone I think they gave you the best chucking of all. I really like them on my vintage Martin tenor. They really help wake up the 80-year-old sleepy mahogany. This test now makes me curious, does Worth offer the same set in Brown?

Those Worth strong's put out some volume. I can't believe I'm saying this but the Aquila reds sounded pretty darn good to me.

Never thought i would say this but titanium nylons are really growing on me since i got my millar ta260 quite a change from reds and browns

I like the Aquilla nylgut, andthe and the Worth Brown Strong

Not a fan of Aquila nylon strings as to me there is a dead quality to every set I have ever tried. Daddario titanium work well on my Kanile'a concert and the difference with all the Daddario sets here from the Aquila ones was very marked in as much as glissandos were much more positive and not stilted. I also find that Worth strings are pleasing to my ear and have and will use both the various clear and brown grades. Although not tested here I have a set of Fremont blacks on one of my Tenors ( a Mango wood DaSilva which I know originally passed through your hands ) and Ken Middleton's living Water strings seem to work best if you want a low G setup on a Concert. Ya just have to find what's right for each Uke and at the end of the day strings don't exactly cost an arm and a leg. I've even tried Baz Maz's fishing line recommendations but I've yet to catch anything worth landing 😬

I've realized you almost need 16 different strings on 16 different ukuleles. I've put the same strings on my Kanil'ea and my Flight Phantom several times with pretty different results. For example Worth Browns seemed to brighten and add volume to the Phantom but did the opposite to my Kanil'ea over the super nylgut Lavas I had on before. Not sure if it's build, string tension, Acacia VS Koa, silk vs gloss finish or all of the above, but it is very interesting the ways in which they react differently. Either way... great video!

Can't beat Worth Browns and Cedar. Put a Fremont soloist low g on it and its better again. Even on the Kala ATP CTG i have.

You've sold your SUS-T??!! I feel like it's a dark day in the ukulele world 😥 You must have something pretty special on the way, looking forward to finding out what it is 😀👍🤙

Thank you so much for this video, Alex. I am a newbie to the ukulele, and I love to watch all of your videos on strings and tonewoods. I have learned so much! I have a carbon fiber Enya Nova U concert for travel, and I was wondering which string you thought might help make the tone a bit sweeter than the stock fluorocarbons without dampening the sound. Thank you for your help!

Still like the Worth Browns for warmth and Clear for crispness, (is that a word???)

Why the Aquila Red strings are looking transparent on the video? Otherwise really well arranged comparison!

Hi Alex 😊 thank you so much for all the thorough comparisons - amazing job. If you find a moment I would really appreciate an advice from you... With which set of strings, in your opinion, I could get the most out of my Flight travel soprano ukeulele (that actually travels)? I play mostly fingerpicking and I am looking for brightness and clear tone. Some good volume wouldn't hurt either. Titaniums maybe? The last set of strings I had on it was Aquila Sugar and they sound great but I found out that their performance varies a lot depending on changing temperatures and humidity and they are not as durable as Super Nylgut (I could see some dents very quickly). Also the squeek comes and goes as it pleases (even after many weeks) and I can't say what's the factor that is causing it. I had two sets of Sugar and in both of them the squeek never left completely. Once again thank you so much for being my source of knowledge about strings! Have a great weekend

Alex, quick question (and I know it's subjective), but I'm planning on changing the strings on my Kala KA-SMHCE-C. It'll be the first time I've changed strings on a uke. I believe you've mentioned in the past that this very make & model was your first uke (as it is mine). I trust your preference in sound, I'm wondering what strings you've found work best with this ukulele? Thank you and I love the channel!

PLEASE help!.......... I got a string set with the Low G for my tenor ukulele.(D'Addario EJ99TLG Tenor Low G Pro-Arte Carbon Ukulele Strings). And I am about to despair. that low G string is a slippery eel, and although I watched countless instruction videos and have acutally stringed such instruments before - I am not getting this string on properly. At best attempt it sounds like a howling hound, can't keep a note for even a second, shows on the tuner app how it is oscillatiing between too low, just right and too high.......any ideas other than sending this string set back?
