so i got an enya ukelele/guitalele and its wonderful.....so much better than a yamaha gl1 (though i do love that little gl1......)

what strings options can i use for the kind of bridge below.......

.....my thought was the classical ones with the ball on the end like regular steel acoustic (only of course nylon)..... i included what was stock(which i thought was weird)


.....please give me your thoughts thanks!

thanks fir the quick reply........as a reformed guitarist (lol) i tune eadgbe by using different strings in the wrong places....so for the high e i use a b string (standard tuning) that way i can get the reg pitch and close (enough) tension
 
Interesting... What's the scale length on that?
Also, how do you like it? The descriptions for it say the top is red pine.

That's something I'm not sure I've really heard before.
It looks very nice.
 
Does look nice but I'm not finding a site that dumps info like nut width, scale length, saddle width, etc. I'm not upset though because I got a very lightly used cordoba mini-m with upgraded bag for very reasonable.

I have the Cordoba mini (guitalele tuning ADGCEA) and I use the Aquila A tuning strings that were designed for the Cordoba Mini. Go to their website and see if these will work well with your guitalele. I love my Cordoba, by the way. I bought it to use as a hiking and travel guitar. Just got back from my first hike with it- perfect hiking companion!

I generally use classical guitar strings, the range and quality are hard to go past Use string beads or tie a decent knot to prevent the string end pulling through. I don't tune A to A, I prefer F# or G to F# or G.
