This is not a High G Low G debate, but more of an observation. In the next year or so, I am planning on retiring. At that time, or sooner, I really want to find, or have made, on wait list, or ??? a new High G tenor. So I am trying to get an idea of the different brands/luthiers out there. The main criteria is to find one that is not as bright as what I currently have.
When I go out to find videos of wood sound samples, it seems that every video I find is a ukulele that is tuned to Low G. I have nothing against Low G, as there are some ultra stellar performances out there. I have a good sounding Low G (many thanks to the string recommendation of the good folks here on UU). But I am looking for a High G addition.
Also, most of the samples are fingerstyle, which I love, but the samples don’t demonstrate that up the neck fingernails on strings strumming. What I’d love to hear is some heavy duty Jake attack at the 12th to see how well the sound holds up.
