String alternatives

Question: Do you know if I can use other strings besides official sanshin strings and the sanshin will still sound the same or similar?

For people not living in Okinawa or around a sanshin shop, it might be difficult to get your hands on some strings. However, I have met a guy who strung his sanshin with different fishing lines. It sounded different, but still good enough to play on. :)
