Tabbycat here... ukulele newbie but I can play guitar and violin and I'm learning mandolin. So, being used to my strings going from low to high, I'm thinking I want to fool around with low G.
I have already been afflicted with UAS to the point that I have a Kala tenor, a Donner concert, a Kala concert, and five sopranos (Kala SEM, Ubeta travel, Makala Dolphin, Muke, and Mitchell-got it on sale at Guitar Center and only bought it because it matches my bluegrass group western shirt; it has pretty sorry strings to start with). So I want to string one soprano GDAE like my fiddle and mandolin, and another uke lowGCEA.
I have a couple of new sets of classical guitar strings I can use. And today I was going through my late brother's toolbox (he died of leukemia in 2014) and found a spool of 30-weight monofiliment line. Will that be of any use?
Has anybody done much substituting guitar strings on your ukulele? Or stringing with fishing line? All advice eagerly welcomed!
