I have got the eletric version of the Blackbird Farallon tenor ukulele, which is a very resonant instrument with a low G string.
However I prefer the high G string for complex chord playing. And there I run into the problem, that with Aquila Nylgut strings the high G string comes out weaker than the other strings also when playing amplified.
As I understand it the basic loudness of a piezo pick-up is related to the pressure that the string puts on the saddle above the piezo element. There the thinner high G string apparently puts less pressure on the saddle than the thicker low G string does.
In my understanding of general mechanics the high G string could put the samme pressure on the saddle, if it were thicker and hence had to be tightened harder by means of the tuning mechanism.
Is there a commercially available set of strings that brings the high G string more forward in the balance with the other strings?
