Ukulele Strings Fluorocarbon Tenor EJ99T, 4-String Set

These strings are fantastic. I’ve used them for many years. They are incredibly durable and last a long time. I love the sound and the tone that they create. They feel smooth and easy to play. The thickness of the low G string was a little bit tight in the groove for it on the nut of my ukulele, but it still sounds great. Highly recommend.

I’m a big fan of D’Addario strings. This is my second set of them and my first set of the Low G Flourocarbons. I love playing my concert ukulele, but tend to gravitate toward a less traditional ukulele sound, so I’ve been experimenting with different ways to string it to achieve a fuller, richer, more guitar-like sound. Every time I research a tweak to my set-up the might help me achieve the sound I’m going for, research into the best option for strings for that set -up leads me right back to D’Aaddario. I previously tried the D’Addario titanium strings and this time when my uke needed to be restrung, I wanted to try out Low G tuning and went with the D’Addario Tenor Low G strings. I was a little nervous since my ukulele is a concert ukulele, but they work really well. The only issue I had was with the A string, which felt like it was ringing/twanging a lot with the Low G tenor set, so I ended up putting the soprano titanium A string back on, which is thicker (listed as 28 thickness vs 20 on the corresponding string from the Low G tenor set), just so it’s clear for anyone who might use the video I’ve included to demonstrate the sound of the strings as a factor in their decision-making. And, FWIW, I think the issue I had with the A string was more about my playing technique than the string itself. Overall, I can’t recommend D’Addario strings enough. They’re sturdy and the strings are long enough that even if your new to changing strings and mess up tying off a knot and want to cut a little off the end and try again, you can without worrying about not having enough to properly string and tune the instrument. They’re easy and comfortable to play with and totally worth the price, even if you can technically find cheaper strings out there, you’re getting what you pay for.

I've been playing uke and other (both steel and nylon) string instruments for many decades. These are wonderful strings and they sound terrific. You can play them soon after installing with more frequent tuning, but allow about 48+hrs for the new strings to stretch and 'stabilize', and then they are really great... and I love the low 4th (EJ99TLG) string! One minor caution: These strings are super-slippery, great for playing but 'slipping' might be a potential problem below the bridge... if you encounter any 'slipping' problem (especially tying/securing them below the bridge*), carefully 'rough up' the string surfaces (ONLY in this area) with very fine sandpaper or nail file (eg emery board) and they should work just fine. Will definitely repurchase... I love 'um! *If you are still tying your strings below your bridge, do yourself a favor and buy a set of Guitar String BridgeBeads (available via Amazon.com) and your instrument will sound 'brighter' and makes restringing easier. Play daily and have fun! One more CAUTION: Be extremely careful when ordering from the Amazon website... I just opened a new set of strings that I have had for some time and I accidentally had the WRONG SET (EJ99T) of 'Nyltech' instead of 'Fluorocarbon' (EJ99TLG)... the outside packaging looks almost identical and you can 'jump' to the wrong string set very easily when ordering on the Amazon website... whether I ordered the wrong set or was sent the wrong set I have no idea, but be extremely careful when ordering and 'double check' the string code in the UR corner to make sure you are ordering the correct set of strings. D'Addario is a good company with good products but I DON'T LIKE the Nyltech (EJ88T) strings...do yourself a favor and get the D'Addario FLUOROCARBON ((EJ99T or EJ99TLG) strings... I think they sound, feel and play much better.

Great strings with fantastic sound. It took a while for them to set fully but besides that they are extremely good strings.

Work as advertised. We'll see after a couple weeks when the strings stretch. But good so far.

I put these strings on a 70 year old Baritone Ukulele, and it sounds great.

I bought four sets of these to use on century-old tenor banjos I’ve reworked slightly to use as baritone banjo-ukuleles. (Their 11” pots make them sound MUCH better than baritone banjo-ukes with eight inch pots.) It is 31” from tailpiece to the farthest tuner. I tried some more expensive fluorocarbon strings, but they were two inches too short. Gold Tone baritone banjo-uke strings fit, BARELY, but they are quite heavy and so quite thump, rather than having a clear ring to them. These strings have an extra six inches of string! They tuned up easily. I liked the tone at once. Fluorocarbon strings, like nylon strings, stretch a bit over several days, and the tone quality definitely improves over three or four days as the string tension increases. Even at this point, however, I like these strings a lot. (Where I live there is a banjo-uke jam every week that has over forty players. I’m fixing these up to resell at cost to people who want quality instruments. I also play five-string banjo with nylon strings on it, and I perform on plectrum banjo. Check out my book called DGBE: Playing Chords All Over the Neck. Available here.)

Pretty new to uke. Only a couple years and haven't really taken it very seriously. Even though I have a few of them. I've always disliked the little G4 4th string and wanted to drop it to G3, try it out, as I've never tried a G3 uke. It's awesome. I did have to file my 4th string nut slot, but was quick and easy with a cheap set of nut files I got. Not difficult at all, took less than a minute. The 1st string needed an extra couple wraps at the bridge. The G3 string was kinda tough to tie, being so thick. It is certainly the string that needs to stretch the most. It is wonderful and feels so meaty on the thumb, it's so much better to play for a guitar player. They sound amazing, I love it. That G3 hits a perfect harmonic resonance that really projects. They are crisp and clean sounding. They feel great, and strong. The uke is much nicer to fingerpick on now. Still on day one, but I can tell these strings are just a huge upgrade to my uke and I'm going to love them. Edit: Here we are, 8 days shy of 1 year later on the same strings. I still absolutely love them. They sound great, and I certainly prefer them over any other uke strings I've had on a uke. They REALLY brightened up with the sound after the first couple weeks and haven't dipped in quality of that sound so far. Still great.

quando le ho comprate costavano 12 euro, subito dopo sono aumentate a 20, ogni tanto anche di più. a quel prezzo è esagerato. se costassero meno le potrei ricomprare. per il resto, aggiorno dopo qualche mese: ormai sono le mie corde preferite, perlomeno rispetto alle corde in nylon nero e rispetto alle Aquila. le Aquila sono buone corde, ma non capisco tutto il chiasso che si fa in merito, nessun mio ukulele ha acquistato volume e definizione con le Aquila New Nylgut o Super Nylgut, nè ho notato grosse qualità sonore come per le corde fluorocarbon, che invece offrono definizione, volume e chiarezza. al di là di questo, con le D'Addario mi sto trovando benissimo, il suono è definito, cristallino, molto vivo, e si presta benissimo sia allo strumming che al fingerpicking, le note sono sempre chiare e definite, si capisce bene ogni nota dell'accordo, quindi con accordi un po' più elaborati non si impazzisce nella confusione armonica. la tensione è fantastica, soprattutto per quanto concerne il bilanciamento tra le corde, e l'intonazione è impeccabile, cosa che non posso dire delle Aquila; ho avuto cinque mute della marca italiana, eppure tutte erano imprecise nell'intonazione. queste sono perfette, luce verde dell'accordatore ad ogni tasto. piccolo vantaggio, se si suona il soprano, è che ogni corda è molto lunga, quindi si riesce (stando attenti a non sprecare lunghezza) a ricavare due set di corde. con un Concerto non credo si possa ottenere lo stesso risultatao. c'è però da dire che il set Tenore ha esattamente la stessa scalatura, quindi potrebbe darsi che con quello si riescano ad ottenere due set da Concerto. devo ancora provare le famigerate Martin M600, che hanno le corde centrali leggermente più spesse e le corde esterne leggermente più sottili.

Obvious improvement in the quality of the sound after replacing with these strings. Sound is now bright with longer sustain. The low-G also add to the improvement. Previous high-G has that empty tin canned sound coming from it.

I will stay with these

J’utilise déjà la version ténor de ces cordes sur 2 de mes ukulele ténors et je les apprécie réellement. Malheureusement ces cordes pour baryton n’ont pas la même brillance ni même chaleur que la version pour tenor. Elle sont un peu plus mellow et ont un son plus plat, moins cristallin que les 99tG. Elles conviendront à ceux qui souhaitent un son proche de cordes en nylon.

Dopo mesi di utilizzo di questa muta di corde, posso trarre le seguenti considerazioni: PRO: - suono corposo e caldo - ideali per “schitarrare” - materiale solido e resistente - lisce al tatto - custodia elegante - semplici da montare - la loro trasparenza le rende eleganti una volta montate sullo strumento CONTRO: (se dovessi sforzarmi di trovarne uno) - periodo di assestamento un po’ lungo In definitiva, lo ritengo un buon prodotto sia per i principianti che per i musicisti più esperti.
