Hi all:
This is (I think) my first post to UU. While I'm mostly a Concert player, my first was a Baritone tuned DGBE. Loved it for years and years, until the spirit of the gCEA reentrant ukulele began to engulf my very SOUL. <3
As this love grew, I got some Aquila 23U (here's some http://elderly.com/accessories/items/ANBP.htm) strings and took my bari reentrant, tuned gCEA, and it's really cool, but I sometimes miss that low throb of a deep-strung baritone.
So this idea occurred to me: Why not use the Aquila 23U's but replace the reentrant g string with a low G? Then it seems like you get the best of both worlds, right?
So –– to my surprise -- a search for a set of "low G" Baritone strings has come up empty. I can't find anybody who makes such a set. So I'm going to try a couple of things:
Or would anybody enjoy a report from me on these string/tuning variations? :music:
Best wishes,
Mick

- Replacing the "high" G string with a classical guitar gut G string
- Replacing the "high" G string with a round-wound classical guitar A string detuned down to G
Or would anybody enjoy a report from me on these string/tuning variations? :music:
