Strings String Gauges?

[RedbeardThePink]

New here, wasn't sure where to put this.

I have gut strings on my soprano ukulele, and I really like them. I have a new tenor, and I'd like to try stringing that with gut as well, but I haven't been able to find gut strings that are sized for a tenor. I think I can buy them by gauge, but I have nooo idea what that would look like.

I either need a source for gut tenor strings, or I need some guidance on what gauge strings to order for a tenor if I have to do it a la carte. Can anyone here help me?

Worth fluoro strings are just a tad thicker for the A and G strings, for re-entrant High G Tenor [over sop and concert].
Isn't there something on Aquila website?

In the days when only gut strings were available I think many people used same strings for tenor but tuned it dgbe. Or they used strings used for other instruments such as for viola.

All or almost all lutes are strung with gut, sometimes surgical gut. Lutes come in many string lengths, so many gauges necessary.
Here is a list of lute teachers, they should be able to tell you where to get different gauge gut strings.
