Kala Spruce Bari . . . now in C

cdkrugjr · Sep 21, 2018

Okay, I have a lead on how to string the Nui . .

So now my Kala spruce Bari . . which LOVES being in gc'e'a' . . . just got my LAST set of Southcoast LLNWs. . . RIP Dirk . . .

So what's next?

Who makes light gauge strings for linear tuning?

Worth Clears maybe? I'm not sure whether their light gauge are for Linear or Reentrant tuning...

Living Waters String?

Hmmmm .. .not sure.

If I look at Worth, their Bari G looks to be the same diameter as their Tenor C . . . So for C I'd almost certainly want lighter gauge for higher pitch in the same scale . . . see "LL" on my current stringing

LWs all seem quite a bit heavier, which would probably have too high tension in C tuning on a bari.

They mention it as a "Custom set" but that might be a bit much from US to UK to fuss with, unless someone sells a bog standard combination . . . Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I have strung a baritone in gcea a number of times. Just use any concert gauge set. They will give you the proper tension , I have used Worth CM with good results.

Hi, Bro, why is this so? Isn’t a concert set a different thickness than a baritone one?

I wanna tune my baritone to fifths, but I don’t have an A. The baritone GCEA set costs $8 . . .for an A string?

Thanks, Ubu, I guess, because of my age, I get mixed up easily, so I’m trying to tune my baritone to fifths.

I’m still gonna keep my other ukes as they are for singing when my Asthma lets me.
