Traveling in a couple of days. Didn't notice the hex key but will look again (I have a bunch around the house anyway). I have put a Low G on this - specifically a Thomastik Infeld CF27 flat wound. Sounds decent and it fit in the nut with no alteration.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192567598200805091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724767841739249964.post-83996523196040231752019-11-30T21:04:22.795+00:002019-11-30T21:04:22.795+00:00Yep.

Perfect for playing in the conservatory, but in a group there’s no real punch. <br />I’ve restrung with Aquila Lava strings as I didn’t like the fluro strings it came with, and while they seem to be a little brighter, there’s no appreciable volume increase. <br />Other than that the tenor is a joy to play, with a nice easy action and a comfy wide neck.

This time of an ...Excellent review, as always, Baz. This time of an instrument that might well go under the radar otherwise. I pretty much agree with every point you made although, strangely, my model does have a slightly radiused fingerboard which I love for playability. The build quality is really excellent and the look is, well, different but I like it too. On the loudness issue, you are spot on; it is quiet but the tone is lovely. I swapped the fitted flourocarbon strings for Living Waters and, although this improves the sound and feel, there's no appreciable increase in volume. I wonder if anyone else has found strings that do make this instrument more suitable for performance? I like playing this ukulele so much that I've thought about fitting a pickup and pushing it through an amp - I'm a bit tentative about cutting holes in the HPL material though so have been search for alternatives.
