Local guy is selling a Kamaka 6 string (tenor). I don't want a 6 string... Can I convert to a 4 string w/out much trouble?

The man knows what he is saying...


The string spacing would be off and unless that is the only ukulele you ever plan on playing it would be a not so bright idea...

Why not get the 6 stringer for what it is intended for? 6 string is a sweet sound.

If a real bargain, try it. 6 strings are as easy to play for many as a 4 string. If you don't like it, wait for a 4 string.
