Thought I was following a thread on this topic but can't find it this morning....
My new Lanikai tenor CK-Teq uke has Aguila Nygut strings on it. It's tuned the usual GCAE, and I THINK the G is "low" from reading that somewhere on the net, but I really have no idea how I could verify if it's low or high. My tuner says it's G.
The uke came with a tag on it saying it had Nygut strings, but not much else.
I would like to know what G string tuning I have now, as I want to try the other (high/low) option to see how I like that alternative. I don't find what I have now disagreeable, except since I am a guitar player, I tend (stumming) to hit the G string, then strum the others.....old guitar habit of hitting the bass string then the others. I think I will eventually develope a better strumming pattern where I do not emphasisze the G string.
Here's what I THINK is on my uke now. I have not been able to find tenor uke strings that are labeled "high G". Are these special strings or is maybe the existing G string just would "tighter" to the next G? I don't want to break the string; it'd scare the heck out of me with a new uke! This thing feels so tiny and delicate compared to my 6 string steel guitars!
Your thoughts?
