My outdoor ukulele came in today. It has a lot more of a robust feel to it than I expected, like you could really toss this thing around. Not sure if I got the aquila strings they're putting on them now or not. Can't attest to a good sound or not because the strings go instantly out of tune of course since they're brand new. I got the upgraded pegs and they look great on it.

So ten days later I'm still not impressed by the sound of the outdoor uke, probably because I'm new to the soprano size and I love my concert. The sound is both deep and hollow, if that makes sense, and my A string can sound very tinny. I definitely feel like the sound is something that would change considerably with different strings, and I'm planning on experimenting with different sets until I find some I like. This guy has a pretty decent review of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-ZgkTVFkVw along with using different strings than the stock, and he mentions how he has to finesse it a little differently to get good sound out of it. I'm not a good uke player by any means, so take my words with a grain of salt. I don't want to dissuade anyone from picking one up, I just recommend listening to the few videos out there about the OU before you make a decision. Personally I like that I can just throw this in a suitcase when I travel and not worry about it.

How can you hold out on us with a story like that and no pictures?

Can someone recommend me strings other than Aquila for my Outdoor Uke Soprano? I love the Aquilas on my Makala but they don't sound good on the already hollow noise of the outdoor uke, so I'd like to try something else.
