And, while I didn’t want to spend a great deal on this uke (about $500), I wanted a very good sounding solid

I think they give me a clearer sound and are easier to play than the nylon strings that come on most ukuleles

Tone is subjective and my wife knows that I like to hand pick my guitars to get the best sound possible, which is why I was surprised that she went out on a limb and ordered a uke for me.

Two different friends commented that it's a little bass heavy (for an ukulele), but I'm happy that it has a warmer sound than most other ukes I've played

It's really great love the sound!!
