Hi All,
There is a song that requires tuning up one, so A,D,F#,B. Wondering if any issue to do this on one of my ukes, both string and uke wise, handling the higher tension.
Saw on HMS that they did it with Fremont Soprano strings on a tenor to allow for more tension. What is the difference with strings made for a Soprano? I had thought the only difference between same strings for different uke sizes was in the string length, but this seems to imply they can handle more tension?
I have several tenor ukes with different strings and was thinking of trying to tune one up, but wanted to make sure no issue to break the strings or cause issue on my uke. All are low G strings made for tenor ukes
1. Compass Rose, with Savarez Corum and Alliance Classical guitar strings
2. LdFM - dont know what strings are on this one, maybe Southcoast
3. Halekoa - think these are Aquila nylguts.
4. Couple of Pepe Romero - Grand tenor, Labella strings, Tiny tenor labela strings.
Wondering if any of these have any issue to handle tuning one up and higher tension. Thank you.
