I am trying to change my G string of my Honu Concert. So, what I was wandering about was, when I've changed the string, why is it so tight when you compare it with the other strings? It doesn't feel or sound well.
Am I doing something wrong?

I am using a chromatic tuner

Jus hope that you have'nt overtightened a full "G" over.....
 
Did you switch string manufacturer? If so that could be part of it... Different strings have different tensions and so some will be tighter than others.
 
What would be the consequences of that?

Aloha Lasse,
You could break the strings to say the least, or it could be worse..
rip the bridge out, and even worse neck problems.....
If you changed to a thicker guage strings, the tension would be a little higher...
Try going down a full "G" aand see how it sounds...
an easier way to check strum down the four strings and it should sound like
my dog has fleas tune, if it doesn't it's off...
I hope this helps, Good Luck......MM Stan...
