I have a cute little Yamaha Guitalele. It's a Tenor Uke sized nylon strung guitar, i.e. six evenly spaced strings. It has a 17 inch scale.
I want to re-string it to Ukulele specs. No problem simply slapping on a Tenor Uke string set for the bottom four strings. But what should I do with the top two slots? I was thinking that the bottom four should be reentrant, and one of the top two could double the G an octave down. But what should I do with the other top slot? Should I double the C, E, or A? And which string should actually sit at the very top? Ideas?
