I searched (both via UU & Goog-Fu), but came up short, so I'm asking...
A few options already exist for soprano and concert, but it seems that does not help me for tenor and baritone.
I'm looking for string recommendations for either a pre-made set, or singles gauges to make 5ths tuning for tenor and baritone scale, in either GDAE, or CDGA, and/or both/either linear and re-entrant versions of the same...
I'd prefer fluorocarbon, but would go with nylon if there was no other option. I'm also willing to drop an octave or thereabouts, since I'm not locked to G4-D4-A4-E5 nor C3-G3-D4-A4 as reference pitches and would use 'wound' strings as necessary. [I'd actually PREFER to be in a lower pitch range than G3/G4-C4-E4-A4 so that this instrument does not overlap standard ukulele tuning- if possible]
Not interested in steel strings just yet (that's another project for a 23" scale tenor guitar and/or piccolo bass), as this current request is for instruments braced/built for nylon/fluroro...
So, I ask the wisdom of the crowd, please share what you know about specific strings for 5ths tuning for tenor and baritone.
Thanks!
