Hi,
I just wanted to change my strings but was messing around and eventually ended up playing the same strings in lower tuning . I first tuned them down two half steps and finally even four half steps (I regularly use GCEA, high G). The thing is that I really seem to like it, both strummed and picked. The uke seems to have a fuller sound which is also louder and has better sustain. I think it would work especially well with rather sad/melancholic songs.
So have you guys tried different tunings? If so, which ones did you like? Do you maybe use them as your standard tuning now? I'm very much interested in your opinions!
What does it mean for me that I like it tuned down? Some kind of guitar envy?
