Yes, that makes more sense. They are standard electric guitar strings so you are free to experiment to find sizes and tensions you like. If you do low G, you can use the top 4 strings of almost any...
I play all my ukes as if they are GCEA even though many aren't. When needed i transpose the music to fit the uke
Can also put on another site like imgur.com and post the links here
There's also the old baking soda and super glue trick but I've never tried that one myself

It's just held in place by tension by the real string. I wasn't really expecting it to work but it's never fallen out yet. I had to do it on two strings but they are all unwound. You could have a...
Here's one with the C1m in Terz tuning : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBD3AelULLE
This has both : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76crFe1B8sc
And this has both the Jupiters :...
Since you've got the skills then, I say go for it. I really like my 5-string.
Hmm, 5-string DGCEA is not crazy:

I'm telling you Mike, if you ever want some extra money, I'm sure you could charge a fair wage to do conversions like that yellow guy :drool:
I'd say it's on the low end of normal. It's a relatively simple job to get a new nut and/or saddle to raise the action. Whether or not that's worth it on this instrument is up to you.
Oh, one...
You might need to experiment with strings and/or tuning. The specs on this say 18-5/16" scale which is an odd size - quite long for a tenor and short for a baritone. How would you describe the string...
And you can print your own string gauge. I have one like this

I don't know that there is a "standard". As with uke, there is a degree of personal preference. Having said that, I prefer about 2.5mm at the twelfth fret, same as my ukes.
And having said that,...
It's the "flatlander" shape. Here's the uke:

Can also hear it on this project ...
I'm not understanding the "shorter treble side" bit. Shorter in what dimension?
Yep. That's called the Uke Leash : https://ukeleash.com/
The owner is a member here. It's my favorite strap. I prefer the ones with an end pin but the half strap you saw requires no surgery on the...
I *might* have my eye on a more upscale SLN but will need to part with one or both of these first:

You're in for a treat! :D
If you're really after A-to-A tuning, I would recommend looking for low tension classical sets. As stated above, medium or normal tension will likely get you to G. Look for a brand that offers both...
On the UG1 - that's also a good set but with the typical round wound characteristics. I have that set at A-to-A on my 17" tenor scale, so I agree with Peter they wouldn't work for that tuning on 20"
Tension should be fine as that's the tuning they are designed for. I will say that if you're looking for "squeak less" strings, you may be disappointed in the Aquilas - they are round wound. But give...
Sure. If you're not familiar with flat wound, then the strings you are used to are round wound. If you look really closely, you can see the ridges because the outer wire is round. This is cheaper and...
I don't have specific strings for A-to-A. I find my 19" bari feels and sound great in G-to-G with the Thomastik Infeld CF127 set which are flat wound and squeak much less than anything else I've...
Very tempting since I gifted away my similar "bear o lele". :drool:
Good deal for somebody:shaka:
