D'addario J65 strings question.

Ukeplayer2013 · Jul 1, 2013

I got a pack of new D'addario uke j65 strings and the are B, F#, D and A. Is that going to affect the instrument in any way if I tune it in it's C regular tuning? Tension on the instrument, bridge etc..?

Thanks!

You mean A D F# B which is a whole note up from G C E A so the string tension will be lower when tuned to C. I would just try if you like the sound/tension in G C E A tuning, if you don't you can always tune up

. Having lower tension should be no problem for your uke.

Alright, thanks!!! It's because I picked a pack up to put them on my Makala dolphin uke. Just wanted to make sure from the experts first.
