Which brand strings would you recommend best to change strings?

Aquila strings, or if you want more of a banjo twang, Aquilas with a wound C string. http://www.amazon.com/Aquila-AQ-28-Banjo-Ukulele-Strings/dp/B00MXUIMWS

If you enter the traveler guitar website there is a video which shows you how to change the strings. I didn't change my strings yet but it doesn't seen to take very long and the manual recomends which string to use if I'm not wrong.

I don't know; but, you could call a local music store that sells violins or check out DOMINANT on the web for this answer. They are VERY nice strings, though! SORRY!

I would not characterize these strings as 'really bright'. They are not 'tinny' or metallic sounding. The highs are not over-powering, nor are the lows. These are the only strings that I have used that I feel really let the true 'wood' sing. I recommend a try. Cost is not much, and you will suffer the time in a string change. I have one guitar that I have used silk and steel, by Martin, on it since 1974. I won't use another type. I have a Martin, which is fairly new (6 mos) and have gone through 3 cycles of the recommend strings that came with it. The next change will be with the S&S; strings. I wanna hear how they react to the Indian Rosewood/Sitka combo of my Mrtin. I would not characterize these strings as 'really bright'. They are not 'tinny' or metallic sounding.

I personally use Martin SPs lights. I find them reasonably easy playing and I like the sound. Mediums would sound louder but are harder to play. Martin makes a silk and steel string that is supposed to be easier to play than standard strings. They also have a new string out they call flexible core that bends easier and is also supposed to be easier on the fingers. I've not used either kind so couldn't say from personal experience, but I think they'd be worth a try, especially if ease of playing is your goal and not maximum volume. I find the lights are a nice compromise.

I can't answer that question. The guy who made my guitar told me what strings to use and so I buy them only. I believe I am using the EXP strings. Light guage and they are nice enough for a player like myself.

It depends. From my local violin shop, if the violin price is less than 400, they suggested to use prelude. If the violin price is more than 1000, dominant strings can be considered.Red label strings are very cheap and the quality is not very good. I use them for my kid's violin ($60). There are professionals using dominant but no professionals use red label. check http://www.violin-strings.com/famous-violinist-string-brands.php

Either strings will work just fine. I prefer the bronze strings as I feel the have a richer tone and sound

I have never personally experimented with changing the strings on this type of instrument, but I will say that I've read numerous string reviews, and almost all of them say that Aquila is the way to go on this type of instrument and ukuleles in general. That much feedback from direct experience is gold.

yes! this was happening to me and i switched to Martin bronze strings (light .012-.054 gauge) and they don't bother my fingers anymore, and the sound is so much better!

Hi Natalie! The strings were bronze wound round, factory strings in a medium gauge. They are okay and sound reasonable, but I would suggest that you put the acoustic strings on the guitar which you like best in a light gauge. I use D'Addario brand strings on my electric and acoustic guitars and I am happy with sound and quality.

They are great strings for any acoustic guitar. I would go with the EXP10 extra light for a beginner. They will be a little easier on the fingers.

I would, otherwise, one string may sound way different than the others unless they are the same brand and age. I would replace them one at a time when I was changing the set to keep the bridge in the right position.

I asked my son. I bought these strings for him. He indicated that he wouldn't recommend attempting to tune up as the metal is softer than other strings, although he said that he liked the sound. The strings didn't last long for him.

I'm pretty sure it's just some generic strings. They are actually pretty decent though, no real reason to change them until they get old.

You will eventually try several over the years and pick your favorite. They are not really expensive so don't sweat this decision too hard. Try these: http://www.amazon.com/DAddario-EJ16-3D-Phosphor-Acoustic-Strings/dp/B000OR2RNM/ref=pd_cp_MI_1
