Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
- Q: What is the difference between this set (100) and the 100W set?
- A: The La Bella 100 set features all-plain Rectified Nylon strings for a pure, traditional tone, including the High G (.029). The 100W set replaces the G-string with a Low G wound string for a broader tonal range and descending bass notes.
- Q: Are these strings suitable for both Concert and Tenor ukuleles?
- A: Yes. These gauges are specifically balanced and tensioned by La Bella to work optimally across both the Concert and the slightly longer Tenor scale lengths, offering consistent performance.
- Q: Why does the 1st and 4th string have the same gauge?
- A: The 1st string (A) and 4th string (G) share the same .029 gauge because this set uses High G (re-entrant) tuning, where the 4th string is tuned an octave higher than the low G note, requiring a lighter gauge to maintain the correct high pitch and tension.
