Huhu,
ich hab heute morgen (endlich...) mal meine Ukulele neu besaitet. Denn ich hatte immer noch die werksseitigen Pyramidsaiten drauf und die Aquilas liegen hier schon ein paar Wochen, aber irgendwie konnte ich mich nicht aufraffen ;)
Nun ja, die Aquilas sind jetzt drauf, und klingen einfach noch viel besser als die Pyramids irgendwie :D
Aber mir ist aufgefallen, dass sie sich irgendwie \"weicher\" greifen und spielen lassen. Fühlt sich irgendwie erstmal ziemlich merkwürdig an. Ich kann aber nicht sagen, dass die sich jetzt irgendwie \"labbrig\" anfühlen, aber seltsam wenig Spannung haben sie schon. Hat jemand Aquilasaiten auf seiner Brüko No. 4 und kann was dazu sagen?
Schönen Sonntag noch allen :)
lg, Meike
Ich nehme an, dass du die \"Nylgut\" von Aquila meinst. Ja, die fühlen sich weicher an als normale Nylons - klingen auch weicher. Das soll so sein und ist in Ordnung.
Ja, ich hab die weißen Nylgutsaiten, hab ich vergessen mit hinzuschreiben :oops:
Dann bin ich ja beruhigt, dass das so muss! ;) Ist auch ziemlich angenehm zu greifen und zu spielen muss ich schon sagen.
Danke für die schnelle Antwort! :D
Eine Frage, kann man die Aquila Nylgut-Saiten eigentlich auch in A D fis h stimmen?
Danke!
hi chris,
probier\'s mal aus :) du hast dann eine höhere saitenspannung und die saiten sind, laut hersteller, eigentlich für eine c-stimmung ausgelegt. mit normalen nylon-saiten ist das eigentlich kein problem, aber bei nylgut, weiß ich nicht wie elastisch die sind. bei den gitarrensaiten habe ich oft gelesen, daß die nylgut-saiten von aquila schnell reißen... vielleicht macht das ja hier jemand im club und kann dir sagen, wie das klingt.

Ich hab die Nylguts auf meiner Hora Sopran in ADFish - klappt wunderbraa! :D
I\'ve got the white strings on an old brueko and it for me they seems to sound louder then \"normal\" strings. On my tenor kala jazz I also got the white strings for tenor but there is the tension of the strings a bit to high.
So my question is: wich strings for the tenor sounds good with a lower tension then the aquila strings ?
hi dr. dick,
if you want to keep nylgut stings, you can try the guitar strings from aquila (the alchemia strings). they are available in two tensions (normal and high) and also as single strings, or treble sets (which correspondes to the first three strings of your uke). if you don\'t want to find out by yourself wich string fits to your needs, you can also send an e-mail to mimmo from aquilla and ask him wich strings he would reccomend to you.
the impression of tension you have on your fingertip depends also of the diameter/density of the chord. as nylon chords have a lower density than nylgut they may give you the impression of a lower tension. i made some good experience with the d\'addario pro arte strings. you will find them also as ukulele set for tenor uke (j71), but in the ukulele set you have the high tension strings corresponding to the guitar set j46. so it might be better for you to get them also as single guitar strings. then you can take the normal tension strings (j4501 as a-string, j4502 as e-string, j4503 as c-string) and the light tension string (j4401 as high-g-chord).
i always use guitar strings on my uke, because you have a much vaster choise of manufacuters and string qualities and you can buy them all as singles, or treble sets. for the uke most manufaturers offer only one kind of string. have a good time...
best wishes

Losguidos, thank you very much for the usefull information !
Losguidos, where do you buy your guitar strings, in the netherlands I can\'t find a shop who sells them. Is it possible that you buy them for me ?
hi dr. dick,
if you tell me, what kind of strings you would like to have, i can get them for you. an internet shop with a lot of choice is this one:
http://saitenkatalog.de/shop1/index.php/cPath/397_1_399?osCsid=jf6l7cs495kclc21uf5g329vjf9jcnck
you can select a manufacurer to find easier the kind of string you are looking for. otherwise just send me an e-mail (you find it in my profile) and i will manage it for you. have a nice evening...
greetings

Thank you again for the nice information ! Do you buy your strings in a normal shop or in an internet shop ?
The string length of my kala jazz uke is 43,2 cm. Do I get a lower string tense with the guitar strings then with the J71 ukuleleset ?
usually i buy them in an internet shop, because of the larger choice.
with the guitar strings from d\'addario you have a lower tension, if you take the j45 (normal tension), or j44 (light tension). in the ukulele set are the j46 strings (hard tension). as high g-string you can use the j4401 (light tension).
greetings
oke, now I know what I must order. I\'ll go for the light tensio string wich I can order by \"your\" internetshop. Thank you again !
yes. just get
two of the j4401 (as a string and high-g-string)
one j4402 (as e-string)
one j4403 (as c-string)
greetings
I\'v found out on the \'d addario website that the EJ44 pro arte strings are extra hard tension, the EJ45 are normal tension, the EJ 46 are hard tension and the EJ43 are the light tension strings ! Very very strange, don\'t you agree ?
But they don\'t sell the EJ43 in the website shop. So finally I\'m going to buy the same strings as you got !
Strange guys those stringmakers ! Or maybe I am the weird one ?

greetings the doctor
hi dr. dick,
yes, you\'re right on that. i never used the j44 and thought that they must be the light ones :) then just take the j45 (normal tension). the j43 are only sold as string-set for guitar and then you have to buy three bass strings you don\'t need.
greetings
guido
oke thank you again. Over and out and.......keep on strumming !
