I stick with the aquilas as my go to strings. They are always bright and bring out natural tone dynamic of the instrument. Aquila strings have a way shorter play life, they wear down quickly, take longer to break in than fluorocarbon. Fluorocarbon line wasn’t designed to be used for stringed...

Savares classical guitar strings. The red pack is high tension. Only use the nylon strings.

Check out Romero creations st concert model

C6 is a pretty big deal. If you haven’t already heard of Joel Katz I highly suggest you check him out. He is super knowledgeable and always open to share. As far as an ukulele suggestion I’d aim for concert size uke if you are looking for a generic background uke to play rhythm. I guess...

I love the reference.

Built in reverb. Traditional Hawaiian tone on steroids. The only thing you forgot to mention is that when you say morphin time it brings world peace. Kikaida activation!!!

No one should buy an instrument not knowing how it sounds. That’s the silliest.

it’s just sad to see 3rd party comments and requests, negatively influence the marketplace post and in some cases have it removed all together by referring to the recommended guidelines set. I find that silly. If you are a serious buyer it should be handled directly with the seller through...
