Hello hello!
I'm thinking of re-stringing one of my ukes to a cuatro tuning (ADF#B with low 1st and 4th) because it sounds really nice and I just love alternative tunings.
What size uke would be most appropriate for this do you reckon? It's two low strings but the lowest note is not quite as low as a low G set would give.
How about a concert, would it be a good one or would I need more body resonance? A longer scale? Shorter?
I remember there was a page about cuatros on the South Coast website but I can't find it.
Thanks!
UPDATE: I just watched the cuatro video Dirk posted yesterday (great one btw!). I guess that in order to get that sound a baritone would be the closest thing, but I think I'd like to have more of a "traditional" ukulele sound to it still. Just with a different tuning.
