Hi guys -
I have a somewhat obvious question for you regarding six and 8 string ukuleles. As the player, you can pick how many strings you want to put on your instrument, so long as the instrument allows it (i.e. you can't put on six strings if you only have 4 tuning pegs!). My question is this - does anyone have any experience with stringing up a 6 or 8'er as a 4 string? If that 6 or 8 string happened to be a concert or tenor, would it feel different from a 4 stringed concert / tenor? It seems like the strings might be (slightly) further apart, and the instrument might be a bit heavier...but other than that, I can't think of any downsides to doing this...
Thoughts?
Thanks everyone!
