Here's 4 tenors that I kept in B tuning, my killer B's. Not every uke sounds good in B tuning but these do. Some low setups will buzz in lower tuning, these don't. While I'm not convinced these recording capture all the sound I hear, it's the best I've got (Blue Yeti + Audacity). Thought it would be interesting to compare the sound of these ukes too. Each has its own unique rich and complex sound. They are all linearly tuned. I wonder how they would sound reentrant? To my ears the subtleties of the different woods and designs can be heard in these samples.
The 4 tenors are:
The 4 tenors are:
- Grimes Quilted maple with Oasis trebles and wound strings (from Hilo set) on the 3 & 4. I originally thought the black nylon Hilo strings that it came with sounded pretty good, but these are Oasis are better.
