I'm really torn right now on what tuning to use. I have low g Aquila on the Kanile'a (mainly because on a recent trip to Hawaii, everyone I encountered, including Joe Souza from Kanile'a seemed to prefer the low g sound and it was WAY more popular). On my Kamaka, I had some High G Hilo strings on it. I wanted a little bit more volume and tried putting on a Fremont Flourocarbon low g string while keeping the Hilo A, E and C strings. I like the sound of it, but I can't help but think I should keep this one re-entrant.
I bought the Kamaka in large part because it was the most traditional, historic Hawaiian ukulele maker, and I sort of wanted to keep it very traditional, hence the High G tuning. But I got so used to the fuller sound from the low g on the Kanile'a that I missed it on the Kamaka. And right now, I'm playing the Kamaka almost exclusively.
I'm bouncing back and forth, changing the string almost every day (at least every other day) between the low g Fremont and the High G Hilo. I'm now driving myself crazy over this...(I know, a dumb thing to be going crazy about).
I know there was previously a poll about whether people chose high or low g tuning (http://www.ukuleleunderground.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10736&highlight=poll+tuning&page=3) but it included players of sopranos and concerts, both of which are usually High G.
I'm curious for the just the tenor players, which do you use more frequently...
