i changed my strings on my ukulele last night, i already had Aquila's but i bought two new sets of Aquila's for my Concert sized Ceniza. I bought one Low g and one regular set for it, and i put on the Low G. I have never played with a low g before, any advice? should i have not done that? should i have stayed with the regular tune of AECG?
when i get my tenor should that be a low c or a low g, my bud's tenor that he just got last night is AEcG.
???
The normal tuning for concert and tenor ukuleles (g, C, E, A) is called "re-entrant" tuning. They're tuned that way so that upstrokes sound the same as downstrokes. If you're going for that sound, then that's how you want to tune your ukulele.
The low G tuning (G, C, E, A) is becoming more popular. Iz uses that tuning mostly (someone correct me if I'm wrong). It's critical to have a low G tuning if you want to emulate his style.
By the way, your explanation of tuning (AECG) is odd. Unless you play upside-down, you've got it backwards.
Regular (high G) tuning is usually represented: g, C, E, A. In this tuning, the 4th string (g) is tuned to a pitch between the 1st (A) and 2nd (E) strings.
Low G tuning is usually represented: G, C, E, A. In this tuning, the 4th string (G) is tuned to a pitch below the 3rd (C) string.
Also, what do you mean by "AEcG"? It looks like you mean that your buddy has his 3rd string (c) tuned to a pitch higher than the 1st string (A). I've never come across this tuning in my life.
