Was curious to do an experiment on my 6 string tenor. So I purchased a set of southcoast classical metal ukulele strings to see if they would work.
I replaced the high g with the low g metal, the low c with the metal, the e with the metal and the high a with the metal. So bottomline I have
Metal g, nylon c (high) metal c, metal e, metal a, nylon a (low). To my ears sounds Tiple like...very unique, half uke, half tiple. You have a lot of configuration possibilities, you can also go 2 low metal c, and 2 metal high a, . Also if you had an 8 sting you can make them all classical metal too ( might consider buying a cheap 8 string Oscar schmidth and experiment with this idea) anyway..I think it will be a hit with my ukulele group. Brings in a new sound.
Playing slow tempo so you can hear the sound.
