Kala Elite USA Brown Fluorocarbon Strings
$29 $22
At Kala we do our best to provide high quality string options for our players. For our Kala Elite USA Ukulele String Set, we’ve teamed up with one of the best of the best—Worth Ukulele Strings. Worth and Kala have gone to great lengths to optimize this set for Kala ukuleles. The sound of these 100% fluorocarbon brown strings can be described as warm, mellow, and astonishingly clear. They have a clean, natural sustain and plenty of projection. When we customized the gauges of these strings, we took the lead from Kala artist, Corey Fujimoto, creating a thicker C string with the intention of delivering a more robust presence in the low end of the instrument. This makes the entire set sound richer, fuller, and more consistent from string to string. Worth Ukulele Strings is a Japanese company that is well known for their fluorocarbon string material that enhances intonation, note clarity, and sustain.

I love my KALA 3KOA TG with elite brown strings.

I purchased the clear version month’s ago and really like the low G fluorocarbon (and hoped for less breakage then the wound low G string versions). In the search in getting a warmer sound from my koa wood uke I’ve been curious about swapping out the clear strings for the brown version. Not that I can tell a big difference in sound with my ears, it’s enough to make these my go-to strings for my instruments. They do require a few days of break-in time then they are golden. Curious there is not a low G fluorocarbon in the package (there is a high G) and it’s replaced with a high quality wound string - still sounds great - but will eventually replace with clear Low G from my previous purchase. Wait! How can I replace a string from my previous purchase? Because the strings you get are extra long and essentially getting two set of strings in each package!
Since I’m rambling on I might as well continue and tell you of my customer experience of Worth String. After a few days with my new clear version strings, the A string broke. The A was always pretty tight so I thought that it might have been a packaging error. I found the Worth String site and sent an email of my concerns and the A string breakage. As soon as the time change kicked in in Japan I get a message from the company owner Kobe Masaya. Long story short, he sends me a replacement string as well as a new package of strings too. Worth Strings has my vote and loyality… Thanks Kobe Masaya and Kala for distributing Worth…

The best ukulele strings I’ve ever used!!! Once they’re stretched out they hold the tuning. The low G is above reproach. I’d definitely recommend them. I have the strings on a Kala Tenor Koa & they soung great!!

I am taking lessons from Troy Fernandez today. I hope the low G survives the jam! :)

I absolutely love the instrument. It’s very beautiful, sounds deep and rich, especially with the low-g string. It’s a nice compliment to my equally beautiful KALA Elite 1 KOA-C (concert) ukulele.
