I mistakenly bought a Low "G" String instead of the "C" string for a Koaloha Super Concert. Reckon I would be taking a risk (structurally) to tune it up a fourth?

I wouldn't do it. Even if it doesn't snap the string or damage the uke (which is possible), the string response isnt likely to be good.

Advice taken, thanks. Not worth the risk.
