Hey guys,
Obviously new here. Just received a Lanikai LU-21T in the mail. Looks beautiful and can't wait to start playing. I'm done some research (but could obviously be wrong) and noted that for tenor, there is an option for low-g tuning. Now there are obviously four strings, but the 3rd string is thicker than the rest, I'm just confused if by low-g does that mean that the tuning should be C-G-E-A or should it still follow G-C-E-A? From the sound of various sites, I believe I got the E & A tuned, I just don't know what exactly to do with the 4th and 3rd string based on this low/high G theory.
Sorry if it is a stupid question, I don't really have a musical background and have searched the site and google relentlessly but couldn't find any clear cut answers except for the advantages and disadvantages of low-g vs high-g. Any help is appreciated from someone who is excited to get started!
