Harley Benton Valuestrings Uke Black

I have been ridiculously impressed by Harley Benton strings in the past, particularly their coated guitar strings. Even their really cheap value range are really awesome (I mean really decent bass strings for under four pounds, that's just crazy). I bought a couple of sets of these babies as an experiment and I have to say that I've found a weird satisfaction in finally having found a chink in ol' Harley's armour. These strings seem really thin, seem to have a much lower diameter than any other uke string I've used which could lead to them rattling around a bit and they generally have a very toy town like feel to them. I can't see these ever really being better than the strings that are even on the cheapest of ukes. The reason I gave these two stars is they are less than a quid and they do actually hold their tune reasonably well when they are broken in.
As I sit on my couch typing this I'm twenty minutes into jury duty and it's not as terrible as I remember!

One of the things I like about ukuleles is how little you need to start playing it: little space, little skills and, yes, little money (little hands are a plus too).

This set of strings comes as cheap as it gets, and it totally does the job. For 99c you can't go wrong!

Great for practice ukus. Use them to play at home, etc... Probably not the best for a more "professional" use. If you want to get the best sound out of your ukulele, you better throw a few more bucks in.

Bottom line: add one or two of these in your next ukulele related shopping list. It's less than 1eu each and you'll be glad to have these around.
