These are great strings! They definitely sound better than the black strings that came with my Mahalo. I haven't tried Aquila yet, so I will have to try those acclaimed strings next time, but I'm very happy with my Martin strings, and they are totally affordable too. It took me 2 days of watching youtube videos to finally figure out how to re-string my Mahalo ukelele with tie-bar bridge (obviously, I'm a total n00b), but once I figured out the trick, it was easy. To find the video that helped me the most in the end, look on youtube for "How to String an Ukelele" uploaded by HawaiiMusicSupply. But I do recommend watching multiple videos anyways, since I ended up using a different method than he does for stringing at the knobs. This video helps mainly for how to get the twisted knot at the tie-bar bridge.

I accidentally nicked the 4th string in a couple places in my numerous attempts to string the ukelele. Hopefully it's not a big deal, but I'm glad I used these inexpensive Martin strings for my first time learning how to string an ukelele.

Anyways, I got the clear fluorocarbon soprano strings, and just a reminder for other n00bs like me, 4 is G, 3 is C, 2 is E, and 1 is A. But it also states this on the front of the package in case you forget. :)

To summarize my review, which is kind of long: I love these martin strings on my 3 ukuleles. I cannot imagine putting any other strings on them. However, so far I have only tried Aquilas, these Martins, and whatever factory/stock strings strung on my ukuleles.

Now my novel of a review begins. It is a story filled with discovery, love, bad decisions, regret, hope, reunion, a happy ending, and opens up for the unknown future. I hope you read it all, because I kind of have gone from a total ukulele noob to kind of a more knowledgeable and experience player, and I hope that my review will give you some insight into your own preference of strings.

My first ukulele was a cheap Makala MK-P. It was $47 from Austin Bazaar fulfilled by Amazon. I knew that factory strings on this uke was terrible, and ordered a separate set of strings with it. From what I've researched online, people everywhere rave about the Aquila strings. However, being a cheapo, I got this Martin M600s because it is almost half the price of a set of Aquila. Since the order was over $25, the Martins qualified as an "add-on" item.

I loved my Makala - it played perfect, and with the M600 strings it had a wonderfully sweet, bright, and clear sound, despite being all laminate.

Fast forward 1 months - I now own 3 more ukes: Kala ASLAS (Solid lacewood with solid spruce top), Kala GACT (golden acacia concert travel/thinline), Pono MS (mahogany soprano). With two more on the way: Kala Solid Acacia Tenor, Islander Acacia Tenor. I bought all these from HMS - the Kalas all came with Aquila strings and HMS offers an extra set at discounted price that I usually get. So I have a bunch of Aquila strings.

Make sure these strings are the tuning you want they are B F# D A. I wanted standard G C E A.

I had my doubts about the quality of my entry level soprano. The instrument looks very good for the price but the strings looked like they were only two types. I mean that the fourth and the first were the same string and so were second and third. I decided to try these strings and now my cheap uke is a completely different instrument. I know this for sure because I purchased two identical ukuleles so my small daughter would let me play, come on, they were so affordable. I changed the strings in only one of them and it had an enormous improvement. I can't wait to change the other uke's strings too.
This is a very high quality product. I highly recommend it especially if you are having trouble tuning your instrument and if it sounds just plainly awful, like mine did. My point is: what can you expect for a 19 bucks ukulele? Probably a $1 set of strings. Go ahead and try the upgrade.

These strings make my budget uke sing like a masterpiece.
My last set of strings (Aquilla) were so bright that it never sounded in tune. And the nylons before were just too dull and not loud enough. These strings have warm clarity that combines the best of both of the old strings into something that brings out the very best of Nanas, my little pineapple uke. She sounds so warm and sweet now you would think she was pineapple upsidown cake.

I replaced the original Aquila Nylgut on all my ukes w/ the Martin. The concert size Lanakai and the Cordoba definitely sound nicer w/ the Martin M600. Maybe a tad less volume than the Nylgut, but noticeably better clarity and sweetness. On the Lanakai tenor pineapple, due to the short scale length, the tension feels a little too light, so I'll be looking for a heavier gauge set.

I've been trying a lot of different strings on my pineapple Kala soprano uke, trying to get the sound I was really hoping for-- and these Martin strings finally provided me with it! I'm really happy with the sound. I tried Aquila as well as a few other brands, trying to get rid of some of the twangy sound, trying to make it less music box... or... (I don't know how to describe what I was trying to subdue)-- these gave a richer sound that I really like and now I'm considering changing out my Aquila concert strings, too!
