I have a requinto guitar, which is smaller than a guitar, and with the ukulele tuning. I am thinking about having a solid wood requinto constructed by a Luthier. I like the low action and the ability to slide and bend on the Kamaka with the Kamaka nylon strings.
Does anyone know if I can combine the two: have a requinto with the characteristics of the Kamaka uke? Reason: I like the 2.40-2.5 mm string action height at the 12th fret on my tenor uke. I also like the larger uke body of the requinto, as I can rest my arm on it vs struggling with the tenor size uke. I have considered the guitarlele but the strings are too close for my comfort. The music style is different with the requinto playing and actually play Hawaiian- type music on the requinto, and Latin-style music on the uke.
Thanks for any input.
