Hello everyone, how do these three brands of fluorocarbon strings compare - Living Water, Uke Logic Soft Tension, and PhD on solid wood tenor ukes?
Two of my solid wood tenors, a spruce top and a cedar top, have light builds and are very responsive but somewhat fussy with strings. I’ve tried Worth CT and Oasis Bright and Warm but they either sound somewhat twangy on the C string, or plinky on the A string, or both.
I recently tried Living Water strings on the cedar top and really like it - clear and bell like sound with no twangyness or plinkyness, nice feel to the fingers and not too much tension.
My old favorite strings for the spruce top was the Southcoast Light Medium Gauge set but that’s no longer available and I’ve been looking for a similar sound and feel ever since.
I’m curious if anyone has compared Living Water strings to Uke Logic Soft Tension or PhD strings?
Adding that I play mostly fingerstyle and not much strumming, and prefer strings with a softer feel and a bit less tension on lightly built tenor ukes.
