Living Water Ukulele Strings 100% Pure Fluorocarbon Made In Heaven

I was intrigued when I first heard about these ukulele strings, especially when I understood they were being produced by a friend Ken Middleton.  You may already be familiar with Ken Middleton from YouTube, or perhaps you have seen or met him at a ukulele festival somewhere around the world.


Ken is a fantastic player and instructor giving workshops and explaining songs online. Ken is also one of those persons with high standards for musical instruments and their complements, such as strings, so when Living Water Strings were made available, I knew it would be something wonderful. I quickly popped an email over to Ken in England asking if we might be able to carry the strings at UKE Republic, and the next day I received a phone call. Ken and I have known each other for a while, and he told me that if he did decide to have dealers carry, I would be the first to have the option of stocking them. Fast forward to May 2014, and I'm honored to say UKE Republic is currently the only authorized dealer of Living Water Strings outside of England. This is also fantastic for our customers requesting from UKE Republic.

Here is a quote from Living Water. I like how the packaging says made in heaven, but Ken tells us where they are made.

"Manufactured from hi-tech fluorocarbon, these strings give a wonderfully vibrant, crystal-clear tone to your ukulele. They are made to exacting standards, with a complex polymer structure formulated to give both strength and flexibility whilst maintaining excellent resistance to abrasion. In other words, they don't break easily; they vibrate well and last a long time."


They are actually made in England.

Low G or High G, That Is the Question

Image
Have Your Low G and High G, and Play Them Too! Hey there, fellow uke enthusiast! So, you’ve been strumming away on your ukulele and loving it, but now you’re wondering about that big question: should you go with Low G or High G strings? It’s a common dilemma for us uke players, and I’m here to help you figure it out. What’s the Deal with Low G and High G? High G Strings High G strings are the traditional choice for the ukulele. When you’re tuned to High G, the fourth string (that’s the G string) is tuned higher than the third string (C). This setup gives you that classic, bright, and jangly ukulele sound that makes everyone think of sunny beaches and palm trees. Why High G Rocks: Super bright and happy sound Perfect for strumming chords Gives you that iconic uke vibe Lightweight and easy to play But…: Not great for lower melodies and solos Can feel a bit limited for more complex music Low G Strings Low G strings are a bit different.
