Worth Strings B-B Baritone Ukulele Set

I also own fluor-carbon strings by worth for my tenor ukulele. I really like those. They sound great, they feel nice.

The baritone version has the same feel and a similar sound. However, like others have said, the d string has too low tension. This is a deal-breaker for me. It's really finicky to play, it also doesn't sound as great as the tenor version, because of this low tension. It sounds flat even though it isn't, so it's missing overtones.

You can definitely try them out and have a go for yourself. For me, I won't rebuy these. But will for my tenor uke.

As others say, the envelope contains twice as long strings so you cut them in half and you have two sets of strings, so the price is aligned with other products. Every string comes in separate plastic envelope with a progressive number and relative note clearly written on, you can't go wrong while mounting. Strings material seems pretty resistant and mounting is fast and easy. Two major issues: first, strings are smooth so when you play with your finger pads, some of them tend to be squeaky (mainly the first string). You can solve this with a couple of passages of very thin steel wool on the string where your finger touches the string. Second issue is intonation: for the first 2-3 days the strings sound out of tune, you have to tune a thousand time but the intonation is not stable. After some days the strings settle and they sound with the correct pitch. I have had this problem mainly with 4th string (the low D string). The only thing you have to do is knowing this and be patient some days to stratch the strings with constant tuning. The sound has a brilliant component but mainly it has a thick body, with sweet nuances. Sound volume is good, sustain could be better. I have been in mail contact with the producer and he assures me the difference with clear Worth strings is brown ones are made of a different density PVDF. So material and gauges are identical, the sound is different because of different density of brown PVDF confronted to transparent PVDF. I play these strings with fingerpicking tecnique on a Thomann lute baritone ukulele and they sound great, the overall result is intimistic and very close to a real lute effect, perfect to play renaissance and baroque music (you can buy a lot of book on Amazon compiled by Michael P. Walker where you find a lot of this type of music transcribed for baritone uke, they are very pleasant to play). My overall assestment on these strings is very good and they seem to last for a long time with many hours of nice sound.

I was very happy to find a set of unwound strings for my baritone. They have a really nice sound, are easy on the fingertips, and won't break as easily as wound strings. The only con is that the D string has a very low tension that makes it feel sloppy, and even buzz when you play hard, and I play pretty damn hard. I'd absolutely recommend them to others, at least to try them out . Although they are a bit pricey, they are really long, so in effect, you get 2 sets of strings in one pack.

Ich habe für meine Baritone Ukulele bis jetzt die Saiten genutzt die ab Werk aufgezogen waren, und wollte nach etwas mehr als einem Jahr einfach mal ein Upgrade.

Bei meiner Tenor Ukulele habe ich sehr gute Erfahrungen mit Worth Strings gehabt, also habe ich sie für die Baritone Ukulele ebenfalls bestellt.

Positives
-Sehr schöner Klang, ein bisschen "dunkler" und gedämpfter als Stahl Saiten
-Sustain ist gefühlt ein bisschen länger, habe ich aber nicht direkt verglichen.
-Die Saiten lassen sich sehr gut spielen und greifen

Das einzig Negative ist das die D Saite viel zu wenig Spannung hat und sehr behutsam gespielt werden muss, damit es nicht zu Störgeräuschen kommt. Ich habe diese Saite mittlerweite durch die Original-Saite getauscht.

Die anderen 3 Saiten lassen sich hervorragend spielen. Deshalb 4 Sterne.
