D'Addario EJ88B Nyltech Baritone Ukulele Strings

I have used D'Addario strings now on half of my Ukulele's and they are really comfortable. Compared to the traditional Aquila Nylgut options these are thinner, less 'sticky' and improve resonance. These are the 'titanium' strings - that does not mean metal strings, only a monofilament wire inside the nylon sheath. They are almost translucent in colour with a fine almost metal core that is barely visible.I suppose that makes them resonate better, but for me it allows a thinner gauge which I prefer and a 'scratchier' sound for my blues recordings. I usually prefer fluorocarbon strings for general use, and these for blues/rockabilly sound. The titaniums are noticeably thinner and louder than Nylgut and Fluorocarbons and have a texture to them that really gives a more metallic edge to the sound. I have D'Addario's fitted to my KoAloha, Tanglewood, and Luna models and prefer these to anything else I have tried.I recommend as they come packed with a 'freshness' bag, colour coded strings, plenty of length, and the gauges written on the pack so you can easily replace. Not a single string has broken in the last 3 months of heavy daily use.

Just as described. Great strings for my Cordoba Tenor.

If you buy these strings you will have to tie the ends, if you haven't done this before, there are loads of videos on line, and it's quite easy. Once they are on and tuned they sound good, quite like the four high strings of a parlour size guitar, but since two of the strings are not wound or wire they have a classical guitar sound.I have had mine on for about three weeks and I play every day, and I am still having to tension them up each time I play but I am sure they will settle, but be mindful that when you are stringing the Ukulele don't leave too much slack on the strings, so that the winding peg is not overloaded, since you will be tensioning them for quite some time.

I've been using these strings on my baritone for about a year. I play it a lot so they have lasted much longer than the Aquilla set they replaced. The sound is bright, clean and with good tone. My only gripes (which have stopped me giving 5 stars) is that they need retuning every time I play and I'm not mad about the clear purple colour of the two top strings. The bottom two are wire wound so are a white colour. I would definitely buy D'Addiario again if going for wire wound strings as other makes wear badly very quickly so need constantly replacing. I've just bought an electric baritone and am thinking about whether to try non-wound strings because of the tuning issue with these ones.

I’ve been having some intonation issues with my kala ukulele but these D’Addario soprano fluorocarbon strings have solved the problem. These strings are amazing. Intonation is now perfect and they sons really nice. At £9 a set they might seem expensive but honestly worth every penny.

New strings for low g tenor ukulele not to my liking at all. Lots of stretch so long settling in period difficulty in fitting I have found other brand’s much easier. Sound just ok for me I think these will have short life on uke and be changed sooner than usual. Pity I like unwound low g

These strings produce a lovely mellow tone. Very quick delivery 👍

The Titaniums have a bright sweetness and sparkle to them that sounds just beautiful on my Flight tenor. I’ve even gotten comments about the tone after a performance. The strings have a very subtle purplish hue which I find quite attractive, and a glossy, glassy feel - perhaps a little *too* slippery under the fingers for my taste. The only thing I don’t like is that they do don’t do clear harmonics (compared to Nylgut, which really rings out) and can be a little plinky higher up the fretboard.On my low G tenor, I prefer the darker more guitar-like sound and feel of the Aquila Nylguts.

LOVE these strings !! Unwound Low G, fluorocarbon set. They compliment my Kala SMH-T so well. (solid mahogany) Beautiful sound. Thank you !

Considero o EJ65B da D'Addario um excelente encordoamento com ré grave. Sensação idêntica às cordas de violão, em tensão e textura. Cordas mais duras que aquelas "branquinhas" que tanto a D'Addario quanto a Aquila possuem. Cordas D3 e G3 revestidos com metal prateado, enquanto B3 e E4 são transparentes. Tocando na boca do instrumento ou próximo do rastilho gera um som brilhante idêntico ao violão. O volume de som gerado compete com qualquer instrumento. Se o seu cavalete é daqueles de prender a corda dando um nó na própria corda antes de inserir, verifique se a fissura da casa da corda Ré tem abertura suficiente para a grossura deste encordoamento. Se não, será preciso levar para um luthier lixar um pouquinho, pois a corda não entrará.

As cordas valorizaram muito o som de meu ukulele Leolani Mango (todo laminado).
