Can I put a set of concert Aquilla strings on a Martin Soprano? I know there will be more to cut off, but from a thickness standpoint, will it work?
Thanks!
Thanks!
I fit Baritone Aqulia strings to tenors all the time. It works for me because I want to detune my tenors and the extra tension of the baritone strings is desirable. Concert strings will work on a soprano but you will have to find out for yourself at what tuning you like the tension and whether you like the sound or not. Many people find that the tension on soprano's at g,C,E,A is too low so it may just work for you. It should give the soprano a slightly deeper sound as well.
What tuning do you use??

Early on I bought a set of ukulele strings in a music store that said on the package, "Soparano/Concert". I believe they were GHS strings, and it was back when GHS was a naughty word.
Wow! Booli, that was GREAT!
