I've been messing with my ukes and high and low G strings. It seems to me like tenors almost always sound better with a low G. This is a bit frustrating as a lot of what I play uses high G. I can still make modifications for a low G, but I like to play a lot of stuff that uses the high G string.
It seems like when I take a tenor uke that has a low G and put a high G on it, it loses something. Sometimes to the point that it just sounds wrong. I just haven't found a tenor that is just "wow" when strung with high G. At least for me.
On the other hand, my concerts seem to be "right" with a high G. I try low G and they are OK, but I do have a couple of concerts that are great with high G.
Is it just me? Is there a tenor that comes to life with a high G and loses a lot with a low G?
