Hi,
I'm picking up the uke again after some hiatus, and I'm finding I need to restring some of my ukes...
My tenor, a beautiful old Martin, has always bedeviled me. In the past, I've tuned it the same as a soprano (ADF#B), and it has sounded fine. But the D string broke in the hiatus, and I replaced it with an Aquila wound string for a Tenor, and I'm not in love with the sound.
Any reccs on strings? I see these Worth strings came out while I was on hiatus, but which ones? There seem a variety for Tenor tunings. I've tuned the same as soprano, though low I think...only to avoid confusion. I'm aware of the DGBE tuning, which I may switch to once I've warmed back into playing.
I recall there is another tuning for Tenor...can't remember.
Which strings? Which tuning?
