POLISHED GOLD ALLOY, also known as the "smooth-wound" Low G is an excellent choice for players looking for an easy touch and an alternative to the average noisy, scratchy metal-wound string.
The Gold Alloy is a round-wound string that has been polished to smooth out the ridges on the outer layer, hence, "smooth-wound". This allows your fingers to glide almost effortlessly with minimal noise making them great for recording and performing live. With a warm, balanced tone, and comfortable tension, it is no wonder this is one of the most popular Low G strings on the market.
At a diameter of 0.030" it fits comfortably in most nut slots originally cut for high G strings with little to no adjustments necessary.
This string has a wide range of benefits and advantages to traditional round-wound metal strings:
Less finger noise
Smaller diameter without loss of sustain
Warm, sustaining tone, not "metallic" or harsh sounding
Arrives packaged with protective VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) coated paper to preserve and protect the string from rust and corrosion before use.
*This string works best tuned to Low G for Soprano, Concert, and Tenor Ukuleles.
*This string can also be tuned to "Low D" and be used on Baritone Ukuleles.
