D'Addario Tenor Ukulele Strings, Fluorocarbon, EJ99TLG, Low-G, 4-String Set, Pack of 1

Good ukulele strings. Hold pitch. Sound bright. Well made. You can always count on D'Addario for high quality musical instrument components. Recommended.

Pretty new to uke. Only a couple years and haven't really taken it very seriously. Even though I have a few of them. I've always disliked the little G4 4th string and wanted to drop it to G3, try it out, as I've never tried a G3 uke. It's awesome. I did have to file my 4th string nut slot, but was quick and easy with a cheap set of nut files I got. Not difficult at all, took less than a minute. The 1st string needed an extra couple wraps at the bridge. The G3 string was kinda tough to tie, being so thick. It is certainly the string that needs to stretch the most. It is wonderful and feels so meaty on the thumb, it's so much better to play for a guitar player. They sound amazing, I love it. That G3 hits a perfect harmonic resonance that really projects. They are crisp and clean sounding. They feel great, and strong. The uke is much nicer to fingerpick on now. Still on day one, but I can tell these strings are just a huge upgrade to my uke and I'm going to love them. Edit: Here we are, 8 days shy of 1 year later on the same strings. I still absolutely love them. They sound great, and I certainly prefer them over any other uke strings I've had on a uke. They REALLY brightened up with the sound after the first couple weeks and haven't dipped in quality of that sound so far. Still great.

I've been playing uke and other (both steel and nylon) string instruments for many decades. These are wonderful strings and they sound terrific. You can play them soon after installing with more frequent tuning, but allow about 48+hrs for the new strings to stretch and 'stabilize', and then they are really great... and I love the low 4th (EJ99TLG) string! One minor caution: These strings are super-slippery, great for playing but 'slipping' might be a potential problem below the bridge... if you encounter any 'slipping' problem (especially tying/securing them below the bridge*), carefully 'rough up' the string surfaces (ONLY in this area) with very fine sandpaper or nail file (eg emery board) and they should work just fine. Will definitely repurchase... I love 'um! *If you are still tying your strings below your bridge, do yourself a favor and buy a set of Guitar String BridgeBeads (available via Amazon.com) and your instrument will sound 'brighter' and makes restringing easier. Play daily and have fun! One more CAUTION: Be extremely careful when ordering from the Amazon website... I just opened a new set of strings that I have had for some time and I accidentally had the WRONG SET (EJ99T) of 'Nyltech' instead of 'Fluorocarbon' (EJ99TLG)... the outside packaging looks almost identical and you can 'jump' to the wrong string set very easily when ordering on the Amazon website... whether I ordered the wrong set or was sent the wrong set I have no idea, but be extremely careful when ordering and 'double check' the string code in the UR corner to make sure you are ordering the correct set of strings. D'Addario is a good company with good products but I DON'T LIKE the Nyltech (EJ88T) strings...do yourself a favor and get the D'Addario FLUOROCARBON ((EJ99T or EJ99TLG) strings... I think they sound, feel and play much better.

Bought a Kmise tenor because 1) it is a VERY inexpensive instrument online and 2) all I want it for is to have a low-G tuning option at the ready. (Side note: this hobby is so affordable!) I first bought an Aquila low-G string and turns out that was a wound string - I had no idea, but the wound string squeaked during my finger movement and that string resonated so much that the sound overwhelmed the chord with a constant humming. Bottom line: it sounded horrible, not to mention that the original strings on the Kmise tenor are no doubt not top quality strings, but there is no doubt that the wound low-G Aquila string hummed because I could pluck the open string and that was the sound I was hearing during any card strumming. Once I realized that I didn't like the squeaking of the wound string I decided to replace all the strings and went with D'addario since I have those on my baritone, concert and soprano ukes and they sound great and stay in tune VERY well. Noticed an IMMEDIATE difference when I strung my tenor uke with these as 1) the squeak is gone and 2) the sound is greatly improved (no doubt this being a factor of also replacing the originally strung C-E-A strings with these high quality strings. Bottom line: I learned at a very low cost that I do not like wound strings and I'm a D'addario string guy - I'll stick with them as I now have consistent satisfaction with their strings on my uses.

These strings (Low G Tenor Carbons) have a nice sound, BUT...know what you're looking for. I have them on an ebony laminate ukulele (Snail brand) and on that uke at least, I would say they do not sound bright at all. Very warm and mellow like a classical guitar, maybe. I love them when finger picked, but when strummed, they sound muddy and boomy to the point that I wouldn't use them at all for a strummed song. So they could be your best strings or your worst depending on the type of playing you want them for. Overall, not versatile enough for me, so I'll probably change them, but I'm still giving them 4 stars because they sound really nice for the task they do well. And, of course, every ukulele reacts differently to different strings.

So, the most important thing about these strings is the sound. They are mellow but loud, and I wasn't sure if the low G would be wound or unwound. It is unwound and I love that, it fits into my tenor without modification and nicely meshes with the other strings versus a wound G that comes with most imitation gut strings, which tends to be a bit louder/boomy. The strings have volume and are nicely mellow. The ukulele these went on is a pacific walnut Kala with a laminate soundboard, and thus tends to make strings sound dull. Not these, I love them. That said, I want to stress that if you are coming from gut strings, these do *not* stretch nearly as much, and some care needs to be taken in installing them on your instrument. Somewhat slippery, they require an extra turn in the bridge knot/loop. And because they do not stretch nearly so much, extra care needs to be taken to not break the high A string, which I managed to break twice before I successfully strung my instrument with them. There is nothing wrong with them in this regard, I was just overzealous in pulling on them to get the stretch out. So, please enjoy the strings, but take care. They are great.

I've used D'Addario strings on all my instruments for more than 20 years and have never had any issues with them breaking or not staying in tune. This set was very easy to install, tuned up quickly, and once the strings stopped stretching, they stayed in tune. They look good, sound good, and you can't beat the price for the quality.

I’m a big fan of D’Addario strings. This is my second set of them and my first set of the Low G Flourocarbons. I love playing my concert ukulele, but tend to gravitate toward a less traditional ukulele sound, so I’ve been experimenting with different ways to string it to achieve a fuller, richer, more guitar-like sound. Every time I research a tweak to my set-up the might help me achieve the sound I’m going for, research into the best option for strings for that set -up leads me right back to D’Aaddario. I previously tried the D’Addario titanium strings and this time when my uke needed to be restrung, I wanted to try out Low G tuning and went with the D’Addario Tenor Low G strings. I was a little nervous since my ukulele is a concert ukulele, but they work really well. The only issue I had was with the A string, which felt like it was ringing/twanging a lot with the Low G tenor set, so I ended up putting the soprano titanium A string back on, which is thicker (listed as 28 thickness vs 20 on the corresponding string from the Low G tenor set), just so it’s clear for anyone who might use the video I’ve included to demonstrate the sound of the strings as a factor in their decision-making. And, FWIW, I think the issue I had with the A string was more about my playing technique than the string itself. Overall, I can’t recommend D’Addario strings enough. They’re sturdy and the strings are long enough that even if your new to changing strings and mess up tying off a knot and want to cut a little off the end and try again, you can without worrying about not having enough to properly string and tune the instrument. They’re easy and comfortable to play with and totally worth the price, even if you can technically find cheaper strings out there, you’re getting what you pay for.

quando le ho comprate costavano 12 euro, subito dopo sono aumentate a 20, ogni tanto anche di più. a quel prezzo è esagerato. se costassero meno le potrei ricomprare. per il resto, aggiorno dopo qualche mese: ormai sono le mie corde preferite, perlomeno rispetto alle corde in nylon nero e rispetto alle Aquila. le Aquila sono buone corde, ma non capisco tutto il chiasso che si fa in merito, nessun mio ukulele ha acquistato volume e definizione con le Aquila New Nylgut o Super Nylgut, nè ho notato grosse qualità sonore come per le corde fluorocarbon, che invece offrono definizione, volume e chiarezza. al di là di questo, con le D'Addario mi sto trovando benissimo, il suono è definito, cristallino, molto vivo, e si presta benissimo sia allo strumming che al fingerpicking, le note sono sempre chiare e definite, si capisce bene ogni nota dell'accordo, quindi con accordi un po' più elaborati non si impazzisce nella confusione armonica. la tensione è fantastica, soprattutto per quanto concerne il bilanciamento tra le corde, e l'intonazione è impeccabile, cosa che non posso dire delle Aquila; ho avuto cinque mute della marca italiana, eppure tutte erano imprecise nell'intonazione. queste sono perfette, luce verde dell'accordatore ad ogni tasto. piccolo vantaggio, se si suona il soprano, è che ogni corda è molto lunga, quindi si riesce (stando attenti a non sprecare lunghezza) a ricavare due set di corde. con un Concerto non credo si possa ottenere lo stesso risultatao. c'è però da dire che il set Tenore ha esattamente la stessa scalatura, quindi potrebbe darsi che con quello si riescano ad ottenere due set da Concerto. devo ancora provare le famigerate Martin M600, che hanno le corde centrali leggermente più spesse e le corde esterne leggermente più sottili.

Obvious improvement in the quality of the sound after replacing with these strings. Sound is now bright with longer sustain. The low-G also add to the improvement. Previous high-G has that empty tin canned sound coming from it.

Ich bin richtig froh, dass es meine D'Addario-Saiten hier bei Amazon gibt. Durch Prime ist der Versand super schnell, was für mich wirklich praktisch ist. Gerade wenn ich bei Schülern spontan Saiten tausche, ist das extrem hilfreich. Qualität wie gewohnt top – ich bleibe dabei.

I will stay with these

Cuerdas de fluorocarbono y de color transparente. Muy bien protegidas y marcadas por colores cada una (A-E-C-G). Tras el cambio al Ukelele tamaño concierto el resultado ha sido un sonido limpio, sin rebotes ni vibraciones sobrantes (sobre todo en la cuerda G), sonido más brillante y precioso. Salto gigante en cuanto a sonido desde las supernylgut. Por contra, tras 8 días sigo afinando bastante... Espero se estabilicen pronto para sólo ajustar un poco.
