Aquila Soprano Regular C Set, ASRCstar rating 5ScottJuly 22, 2010These are amazing - this is what a ukulele is supposed to sound like.... And they are like butter to play ! It's like night and day from the Daddarios my uke came with !! I would tell anyone who has a uke to put these strings on !!
Aquila Soprano Regular C Set, ASRCstar rating 5AmaliaJuly 21, 2010I just started playing ukulele and was frustrated and annoyed with the lame plastic ones that came on my instrument. When I put these on, they stretched for quite a while, but now my dinky Mahalo actually has tone quality and I can play whole songs without that terrible plunking or rattling! These strings are highly recommended as an easy easy way to make your instrument sound good. I can only imagine how nice a good uke would sound!
Aquila Soprano Regular C Set, ASRCstar rating 5TeejayJune 7, 2010A friend recommended these strings to me, so I tried a set. I have never been so impressed with a set of strings in my 30+ years of playing! These things are just amazing. On my soprano uke, which was just-about unplayable with the floppy, rubbery nylons that came OEM, and only marginally better with other nylons - the entire instrument now has sustain, sparkle, and tone (whether acoustic or electrified). They feel "tuaghter" than nylon, which means more tactile response, more finger control, and a much better control of volume when playing - pianissimo is now quiet, while still articulated and defined, and forte is loud and bold. The feel also helps anyone who plays several instruments - especially if you play guitar, and are used to the feel of guitar strings. The downside is that they stretch like nothing I've ever encountered... but hey, we tune the instrument before we play anyway, right? :) Just don't expect to string your uke and go onstage ten minutes later. Bad idea. If you haven't ever used Aquila's, please - PLEASE - take a $5 gamble, and give them a whirl. They pay for themselves the first time you play them, and realize your uke sounds better than it ever did.

Aquila Soprano Regular C Set, ASRCstar rating 5JanMarch 2, 2010These strings are the only ones I use because they make any uke sound better.
Aquila Soprano Regular C Set, ASRCstar rating 5MarcFebruary 28, 2010When I found my dusty Martin uke passed down and unplayed and decided to take it up these are the strings my instructor told me I had to have. I have loved the sound they produce from this great instrument.
Aquila Soprano Regular C Set, ASRCstar rating 5SteveDecember 21, 2009I only use Aquila strings on my ukes. They make the cheap ukes sound good and the good ukes sound like they are supposed to.
