My high C and one of the A strings snapped the very next day after putting it on.

My 8-string ukulele needed new strings and a friend suggested these. Initial play sounds really good but the jury is out until I see if it can withstand the rigors of playing at least an hour or two a day.

Great sustain, but the High C snapped on me after a few days. I got a new set and hadn't even tuned it all the way up, I was taking it in days, when it snapped again. Can't recommend if they don't last.

Sweet strings, have a great sound. Takes 2-3 days before they are cured and hold tuning.

Sound great, look great. They needed a while to settle in, like a couple days. I always tune new strings up a semitone sharp and wiggle them vigorously in order to help the break-in process. The low string is wound so it naturally has a brass color -- typical for most nylon string sets. But few swipes with a black sharpie ink pen gave it a black color to match the other strings.

Nice strings.Unfortunately, they keep going out of tune after a week. Maybe I did not secure them properly.They do sound nice, with a nice metallic sound form the 4th.Update: after a few weeks, they don't detune anymore and still sound great!

Most ukuleles come with a set of Aqulias installed, and I'd moved most of my ukes to other brands. When I bought an 8-string uke, I thought I'd take the plunge and try some of these out.And...they're good! A little warmer than the standard white strings, they make my Luna HTT 8-string sound quite clear and mandolin-like if you want to play that way, but give a nice tone. I still find it a little strange that the low G string is wound, but it still sounds good. The only reservation is one I normally find with Aquila strings - they take at least a week to settle into tuning, and they stretch a lot, so you may have to take some of the slack out by rewinding the strings. Once settled, they're fine.Recommended, or at least give a set a try.

IMHO these are better than the Nylaguts of days past. I use wedgie medium rubber 3.1 picks, the combination is working out great.I like this set for my MELE tenor 8-string. I do swap out the wound G for a Aquila red because the winding will fail the way I play. Just bring them up slow, lift the string out of the nut while tightening as long as you can and leave them overnight when half way up to pitch. I takes me 2 days to first hit full tuning then another week or so before they become more or less stable. Haven't broken one yet using this technique.
