Anyone have suggestions for me starting out if I should string a high or low G being a newbie? I have never played an instrument before. No background in music. The company I ordered from could do a low G if I wish. Any thought?
Well, you asked my opinion, and that is all it is, but to me the re-entrant tuning is what sets the ukulele apart and makes it a ukulele. My opinion is that if one is going to start playing a ukulele they should start with a ukulele. Plenty of time to turn it into something else later. Again, my attitude is that everyone should feel free to do anything they want to their ukuleles, and they should be free to call anything they want a ukulele, but that is my feeling on the subject.
Decided to go with a low G on my tenor. I'm looking forward to learning melodies and want to play blues.
