Hello all. I have an Ohana SK-39, which is my first (and at present, only) ukulele. At the moment I have it strung with clear Martin fluorocarbons.
I've noticed that the C string is a bit boomy. It tends to drown out the other strings a bit. I was wondering if someone could recommend some other strings that I could try that might balance this boominess out. I think this uke works well, to my ears, with strings on the brighter side. The uke has naturally got a darker tone. I tried Worth Browns on it a while back and I didn't like it at all - the high end more or less vanished.
I know some of this "boominess" is probably the result of my technique, and some is the tuning (I like playing gCEA, with the high G) resonating with the instrument. But I'm keen to experiment with some different strings and see if I can get a bit more balance. Mahalo!
