The sustain, especially on high single-note melodies, is just wonderful, something this guitalele completely lacked before, and now has plenty of. I know many people like to play fingerpicked melodic arrangements exclusively on a guitalele and I think these strings would have been a joy to use for this purpose. This way, the diameter variation among each string is considerably smaller, allowing the instrument to sound brighter, more powerful and more responsive through the entire range of the fretboard, especially over the 12th fret. I tried them one after the other and aside from measuring with a mircrometre that the bass strings were slightly thinner than the folk nylon - You would be fine to use these as a direct replacement for factory strings on any guitalele.

The set also sounds very well balanced and has a nice brightness even for someone playing without nails like my lad.

That said, if you’re going to put steel strings a guitalele, I’d recommend putting extra light strings on like these. Unfortunately an increase in string diameter also has the disadvantage of increasing internal dampening resulting in a less responsive, duller sound. This blog article will discuss five key things about guitalele strings that every guitalele player should know. So you’ll be able to play the same songs, it’s just it will sound higher in pitch than if you were playing a normal guitar.
