I'm having a bit of trouble grasping whether string gauges increase or decrease with the size of a uke.
I tried putting Tenor strings on a Baritone... but the tension was far too great and inappropriate.
But when I put Baritone DGBE strings on Tenor, they were far too loose and impractical.
Today I put Baritone GCEA strings (Aquila) on my Tenor, and they seem to be OK. The tension feels a bit tighter, but not so tight that it's unplayable.
But could I be possibly doing my Tenor damage with these strings? They do feel a bit tighter than what I'm used to (unless the previous strings on my Tenor were simply worn)
