Aquila 21U Baritone Ukulele Strings Set

Pretty much the best. These are the best strings so far on my quest to find the best baritone strings. The low D and G strings have a bright, sustained tone. They still wear off at the frets just like pretty much all baritone strings do, but they last longer than the Martin strings. The high “nylgut” strings feel smooth and natural, are a joy to play on, and stay in tune. I am giving these a 4 instead of 5 because I’m still hoping there are better strings somewhere out there. But if you’re at least a little…

Wound Strings Unravel Way Too Quickly These strings sound nice on my Kala KA-B baritone ukulele, but in no time at all the wound strings start to unravel at the upper frets. I’ve read that this is just a normal thing with wound baritone strings, but I don’t buy it. Or at least I won’t in the future. The last G string I replaced began unraveling in a week. After two weeks you could not bear to slide your finger across the string. I now have an Aquila #73U Red unwound G string and it sounds great. We’ll see how long it lasts…

Really nice tone!
