When I went to Molokai last March, the locals put something in my coffee and the next thing I knew I was singing "Living in a Sovereign Land" and buying a ukulele. My ukulele is great and I've enjoyed learning to play it. I started listening to Izzy and detected that his ukulele sounded different than mine. Researched it a little and it was because he used a LOW G string. So, I changed my strings. The LOW G string sounds great and adds that bit of authenticity that was lacking, but the strings are very low quality. They go out of tune as I go up the fret, or do a bar chord.
Does anyone in Puna have an idea of what strings I should put on my uke to restore the quality sound it once had (while keeping the LOW G). I am anticipating THOUSANDS of responses and so am suggesting that we have a special forum just for ukuleles.
