I have just ordered a Baton Rouge 8 string ukulele. After reading the many positive reviews I am looking forward to receiving it. I am considering replacing the octave C with a unison pair, leaving the low G as the only octave pair as others here have done.
I was wondering about using 2 different brands of string in each unison pair to create a more complex sound. I'm thinking of pairing different flavors of the same brand of string, such as Worth Browns and clears. or even strings of different brands with significantly different characteristics. I can imagine with the right string pairs it could expand the tonal spectrum, and with the wrong pairing could sound horrible.
If anyone has tried this I would be interested to hear whatever experience you could share.
