But I would expect quality strings to hold up better over time. Bob: Good point. But I would expect quality strings to hold up better over time.

There's no point them paying for good strings that are dull by the time it's purchased, and ukes aren't exactly a high-volume sales item, even with everything that's happened recently.

I can understand it with cheap ukes like Mahalos, but I'll never understand why people selling high or mid-range uke would sell them with sub-standard strings. I've just checked out your site. Very nice work. Do you ever make ukes? Thanks, Pete.

If you've got a Mahalo then change the strings - the ones it comes with (whatever colour it is) are rubbish. Some good strings will make a huge difference to the tone and volume.
