Living Water Strings
Your ukulele will love them
These strings give a wonderfully vibrant, crystal-clear tone to your ukulele. They are available for all four sizes of ukulele: soprano, concert, tenor and baritone. They are made in England.
All strings, including the lowest ones, are made entirely from 100% pure fluorocarbon. No wound strings are used in any sets. I believe that many players, myself included, do not care for the tone of wound strings. Fluorocarbon feels better, gives a good balance of volume, and doesn’t wear out so quickly.
Here are the 8 regular sets that are available.
NEW UK customers can now choose two more delivery methods: Tracked 48 and Tracked 24. I would suggest that you select one of these methods for larger orders.
All non-UK customers can now choose standard untracked or tracked shipping.
Custom String Sets
If you require advice on unusual string combinations or want to put together a non-standard set, please contact me by email. Please let me know exactly what you require and you may also include any regular sets you need. If you wish to add custom set(s) to a regular order you have just placed on this website, please let me know if you want them delivered together.
Do remember that custom sets are what customers have requested. I myself don't necessarily recommend alternate tunings in place of regular sets. There are hundreds of possible custom sets, but 8 of the most popular ones can now be ordered online, just like regular sets. Naturally, custom strings cost a little more than similar regular strings.
A few other custom sets you might want to consider are a Spare Strings set (any 4 strings of your choice), a Low Tension Tenor set (if you have a medical issue), a Concert 5 Strings set, various 6 string sets, a Concert Taropatch set, etc.
