Ukulele Strings

Curt Mangan ukulele strings generally earn their reputation for the same reasons his guitar strings do: small-batch consistency and high-grade materials. Since you already know the "FusionMatched" difference for metal strings, here is how that quality philosophy translates specifically to his nylon and wound ukulele sets:
  • Pro-Grade Nylon Filament:
    For the plain strings (Standard, Tenor, Baritone), he uses a specific clear nylon filament that is rectified to ensure a perfectly consistent diameter. This prevents the intonation issues (wavering pitch up the neck) that plague cheaper, mass-produced nylon strings. The tone is typically described as bright and punchy with a very smooth glass-like feel.
  • Wound String Clarity (Baritone & Low G):
    This is where the FusionMatched tech actually comes into play for ukes. The wound strings (typically found on Baritone sets or custom Low-G Tenor sets) use silver-plated copper wound over a nylon floss core.
    • Because they control the winding speed and tension in their Cortez, CO shop, these strings don't sound "thuddy" or dead compared to the plain strings. They maintain a crisp attack that blends evenly with the nylon trebles.
  • Settling Time:
    Many players report that these strings stretch in and hold their tuning faster than standard nylon sets, which can sometimes take days to stop slipping.
  • Custom Gauging:
    Because they are a "boutique" factory, they offer specific gauges that major brands often ignore, allowing for custom feels if you are trying to balance a specific instrument that might be too boomy or too thin.
