Kind of you, thx. Yep, I've fallen in love w. nylon strings, little uke vibe w. slide in particular but also fingerstyle blues. So many projects large and small but I have all the parts, soprano ukulele fretboard and another rod piezo so one of these days Lord willin'... Plan to work a couple such tunes into my live set. Ok, back to office clean/cbg wall hang-up work... organizing... -Glenn

Lovin' this Poorness! Pick's right, I stuck a rod piezo into an el-cheapo uke, swapped the strings so thicker 2 are the low ones (both tuned unison) and middle thnner, lightest at top, tuned A A D A. Playing fingers or slide (pvc conduit no less!) sounds COOL via any amp I've used. Enjoyed this, keep it up and be safe! -Glenn

Bring that jar of fuzz to the medic tent here at the festival, must check for safe fuzz! Who knew nylons sounded good off legs! What do I know, I’m Californian! Making good use of your house arrest Poorness, a creative dude you is! Hump days forbidden on the nude beach, grass skirt or not!

That they do! It helps to get the ties and wraps as tight as possible, since a lot of the stretching the slipping at the tied ends and posts.

Nylon strings actually play/sound pretty well. My only complaint about them is they stretch A LOT when they're new. It takes a long time to break 'em in.

My first cbg build I put nylon strings on after I noticed some bow from the 4 steel strings after a few years. It sounds good with gain and other effects and kept it playable for hopefully the long haul.

Ha ha. Thanks Denbo.

A Pick, I was actually going to throw a slide in there to get really weird but the action on the Hobo Fiddle is pretty low and so its not easy to play w/slide. You're absolutely right though. Slide works fine on nylon.
