Any suggestions for strings and switching out a tailpiece? I'm guessing the nut will need filing too. Not sure the Weber will ever sound reasonable with nylon strings - but what do I have to lose? I've tried the soprano uke with mandolin strings (Aquila GDAe for soprano) but it's not that comfortable to play - fat neck, deep body, quiet, and not great tone....
Thank you.

Have a look at the thread about Aquilla strings, I believe these are nylon strings.
