Hi Ukers ... hoping you can help me with this one
I ordered a Samick Baritone when I was at the NY Fest and I got it yesterday. It does not have on 'regular' Baritone strings! The 3rd and 4th strings are not the usual wound baritone strings.
The 4th string is as fine as the 1st string... it may even be a tad thinner....
I'm wondering how I'm suposed to tune this baritone? should I tune it like a concert? i.e. GCEA ... or should I tune it like how a baritone is supposed to be tuned ... DGBE but the 4th string, the D, - would have to be tuned to high D instead of low D as there is no way the present string could be tuned to low D. ? ? ?
I'm at a loss as to how to tune this instrument! Would appreciate it if you can help me with this dilema! ... i.e. how to tune these strings! And thanks!
