Kala Contour Mahogany Baritone Ukulele Demo - Aquila & Worth Strings Comparison

[@lesgoodchild2305]

I prefer the Worth Browns. The Aquila strings ring a little too much for my liking, even if they offered more volume. Thanks for the opportunity to compare both. I am in the market for a baritone and, therefore, ideal timing!

[@WorldofUkes]

I think this one offers really good value compared to the spruce and acacia versions of the same series. They're good too but I am not sure how this one is so much cheaper.

[@kithg]

My, that’s a significant difference, Isn’t it? My call - the Worths for clarity and tone. The uke is pretty. Sounds lovely and deep.

[@WorldofUkes]

It is - I think on the tenor version of the same series the difference is much more striking (and clearly better with the Worths), so I need to do another video on those!

[@chrishinks46]

Agreed. I find the Worth Brown's warmer and sweeter.

[@Sue-lf2qy]

Worth browns for me, although the Aquilla sound good too. Lovely uke though

[@jerrylovejoy2269]

Worth, without a doubt!

[@jamesdarby1477]

Worth every day 😁

I normally prefer the flourcarbons on any uke BUT on a Bariton. In this case too, though the Worth are also nice. I personally think the Aquilas give the Bariton(s) a more energetic and "stronger" sound, while the flourcarbon strings are quite a bit more bell-like and thinner. I don't like the "squeeky effect of the wounded D and G string though, that's why I do use for the top bass strings Thomastiks and for the buttoms the Aquilas... ...and most of the time I play a tenor ;-)

[@WorldofUkes]

Yes, I am not an Aquila fan generally - but don't mind them at all on a baritone (and the D'addario nyltech versions are even better I think). I did say that to the customer who ordered this one - but he insisted on me changing them to Worth, so I didn't argue!

[@Marik0]

Exactly, I find the fluorcarbon strings thinner and bell-like, too, and definitely not so nice in the lower end for a baritone, IMHO. I use Aquila reds in my baritone and I really like them (I don't mind the wound strings).

[@petercameron8832]

I am only listening through my iPad, so that’s a big consideration. The worth brown strings for me- my device may be fooling me.

[@charliekipling2931]

It’s a difficult choice between the sound of either set of strings although I imagine it’s more of a hard choice due to the faultless playing of the instrument. PS do I get a discount for each review?

[@WorldofUkes]

Keep up the nice comments, I'll think about it ;)

[@Marik0]

Aquila all the way, although I prefer the Aquila reds for the baritone. Much better sounding in the bass, imho. The fluorcarbon strings had a bit more clarity but it sounded like a tenor uke.

[@judynpeterjones3307]

You know what I'm gonna say!!! Worth Browns, they are a lot warmer and not "jangly!"

[@mikek4708]

Lovely Ukes, Worth for me, warmer and I preferred them picked, Aquila strummed were nice. That’s probabley why you would need 2 Ukes one for strumming and one for picking.😂😂😉

[@kithg]

4 - strumming and picking in both high and low G! 😉

[@mikek4708]

@@kithg Oh the endless possibilities, your so much better at the justification….and correct. 👍
