Aquila strings are unanimously the best especially for Baritone Uke.
There was just an earthquake there! You know in Aquilla Italy.
I hate to sound selfish but can we still get Aquilla strings?

Re: (Uke) Tuning Pros and Cons: Open G (1 replies, posted in Other string instruments)
I think different tunings are sometimes better or sometimes worse depending on how you want it to sound or the style your playing.
Because of the limits of a 4 string instrument it is best to use different tunings to expand those limits.
My advise is get multiple Ukes and tune them differently.Try a song out on all of them to hear what sounds best.

Re: teaching self 2 play bass (4 replies, posted in Other string instruments)
IMO Bass is more of a felt instrument. It is there to outline (most of the time). It is best to find the most important notes (or note) in the chord you are outlining.
example
If out lining an F7th maybe use the F (1st of the chord) and pop off the high 7th.
or
If outlining a Fm try using the Flat 3th, 5th and root in a run of some kind. But stat away from the 3th (its not in the chord)
Start there, but don't forget all the things you can add to the melody also.

PS
If you don't know what a 1st, 3rd or 5th is, google chord building.
I love the web. So much info!
