hi folks: i know there's some long threads on this topic since i searched all of them about 3-4 weeks ago and found a ghs rep who said they had some strings that you put on a tenor so you could tune it like a baritone. i can't find that post again.
i ordered a couple of sets from their site and by the time i'd gotten them in i'd forgotten this was actually what they were for. neither the packaging nor the site makes it clear enough for me who am a total newbie to ukes and expecting my first one in tomorrow--a tenor.
the code is 'cu-btr' and the sizes are: .032 / .040 / .028w / .032.
totally unfamiliar with uke string diameters, but since the sizes are the same for two of the strings, i'm (ass)uming this means these won't give you 'linear' tuning and that one string will be an octave above where it should be. ?reintrant?
are my guesses right about these strings? i'm finding out that ukes are much much more complicated than other stringed instruments when it comes to putting strings on them and you don't want to go with the default. hopefully eventually i'll memorize the string sizes for concert, tenor, and baritone.
tks, /guy
