As I've been playing uke more and more I've been slowly moving to baritone and away from tenor. I'll probably be selling most of my tenors soon.
Today I had a crazy idea to put baritone re-entrant tuning on my LFDM tenor. I ended up putting linear baritone tuning on there and I'm astounded at how good it feels and sounds. This is using the same strings I am currently using on a Pono Pro Classic baritone:
2nd and 3rd strings of Oasis GPX Carbon classical guitar strings
Thomastik-Infeld CF30
Thomastik-Infeld CF35
Although the scale is 3" shorter it still works very well. Yes the bottom string is a little noisy if you try to play very fast single notes on it especially on the first couple of frets and yes if you play chords right up past fret 14 it gets a little tight since the available vibrating length is short, but for the most part it works very well. I was really impressed how well the low D speaks on the instrument.
