D'Addario Ukulele Strings Titanium Concert EJ87C, 4-String Set

These strings really bring out the sound of my bari. They are a bit "bolder" and offer great sustain and clarity. I typically use Aquila strings for a softer more rounded sound, but I really like these -- not so bright as to be overly agressive, but allows you to perform a great sounding range from soft/tender to bold/aggressive. Very pleased with these and planning to replace them later with the same as these may be one of the best sets I've mounted on my baritone uke.

I got these for my Kmise baritone ukulele. I read reviews saying they are not titanium. It is the core of the wound strings. It clearly indicates on the package D and G are wound. B and E are some kind of nylon. The strings sound amazing. They are well balanced and project well. Baritone ukuleles are always going to have haters but it is amazing for what it is. With these strings the tone leans towards the guitar. I think they are amazing. It may have a lot to do with how great ukulele Kmise are producing.

Had to buy these because the jokers at Guitar Center (inexplicably) strung it up like an actual ukulele so the strings were wrong. They're perfect.

These strings are packaged well, and they sound good too. The sound is definitely brighter than gut-like string. On first use, the "titanium" nylon strings definitely are leaning toward the feel and and sound of a steel string. I am wondering if they will mellow out a bit after stretching. Depending on the tonal nature of your instrument, the sound could get a bit too punchy. As for the feel, the smooth and glassy material is a definite upgrade over the texture of the strings that came on my Kala baritone uke. My fingers can glide over these strings without any stickiness or roughness. I'm ducking these a star based on usability issues when putting them on. They are so stiff that I needed to use a small set of pliers to pull them up over the bridge, as they were just stabbing the wood instead of flexing and gliding up over it. Additionally, the insanely clear material made it difficult to tie them the end of the bridge, as the ends and edges of the strings became practically invisible against the dark materials of my instrument. On that note: if aesthetics matter to you, the nylon strings can actually look invisible, depending on lighting conditions. It is a weird effect if you're not used to it or expecting it. I'll keep using these for now, but I'm not sure they will become a favorite.

Update: I was contacted by D'Addario the day after I wrote my initial review and was absolutely taken care of by George in customer service After I received a new set of strings and stretched them in, I must say I'm impressed they have good presence, tone and are comfortable on my fingers to play Okay I was all excited about trying these D'Addario Titanium strings on my new Kala KA-B baritone ukulele. I put them on and was just stretching them in and the D string broke, right in the middle (very odd) I Didn't even get one song on them. I am a long time guitar technician and know my way around changing strings and many other things. I did email D'Addario and hoping they just send another set. I was going to review them here and on my YouTube channel but now I'm not so sure I hope D'Addario comes through and they work out, because I'm certainly not going to buy another set of these, unless they do

These strings are durable and my go-to for my ukulele. I love the sound and their feel on my fingers as I play.

Excellent Quality

The strings sounded good for the first few weeks and then slowly became dull and less pronounced. The B string has started fraying and is about to break. Not for professional use. I play it 3 times a week. In need of changing them already.

Description is wrong, it says that the thinnest two strings are silver plated copper, but it's just nylon

Bien

Beautiful sound from these strings, warm and rich. The G string broke in half after about one week, but they kindly sent replacements.

Very generous string length, could've been enough for 2 concert ukuleles but I didn't try. Good volume, fairly bright - but they are very thick so not very comfortable to play. If that's your style these are OK strings but I much prefer fluorocarbons. Not sure why D'Addario call these Titanium, seems to be mostly marketing.

Tienen una gran calidad de sonido, las mejores cuerdas que pude haber comprado. Desde que las puse, el sonido de mi ukulele mejoró notablemente. Las compré especialmente porque se supone que eran de un color púrpura translúcido, aunque realmente solo parecen ser transparentes, es el único “pero” que le pongo, porque realmente me llamaron mucho la atención por el color y quería algo diferente a las cuerdas habituales. Generalmente 11/10. Incluso sentí como si fuera un instrumento nuevo, con una acción perfecta y un tacto suave.
