I got a new Bariton Ukulele
And i would like to tune it GCEA Reentrant (not low G)
But one Octave lower than regular GCEA Tuning

Who can recomand Strings for it?
 
So G3 C3 E3 A3

Hmm, I think you're gonna have to combine stock sets to get all the strings you need.

Terz guilele tuning is G2 C3 F3 Bb3 D4 G4 and that should be doable with most standard classical guitar sets.
Several of those are really close so you might need two sets to get the right gauges.

Another option is standard baritone sets are D3 G3 B3 E4. Rearrange the bottom three and you're close but then you'll need an extra to get the E3
 
Thank you
Yes G3 C3 E3 A3 is what i am looking for

There is one more thing i am not sure about

Dont i have to worry ab out the tracktion? And/Or The length of the String?
Is the tracktion always the same on a string if its made for a special tone?
For example, to get G3 can i take any string (never mind the instrument wich its made for) wich is made to be tuned to G3?
I just dont want to "brake the neck" :)
 
Pretty sure that set is linear but the G3 should be one of the easier ones to find so that could be a better starting point than the DGBE set idea
 
You can also ask Ken Middleton of Living Waters.

He MIGHT be able to put together a custom set for you.

I'm crazy for his strings, they are just wonderful.
 
I forgott to say that it should be string recomendations of strings wich i can buy in Germany/Europe

Does anyone has an answere to my other question above?

"research and development" - I just meant you were probably in for a lot of trial and error trying to find strings with the right tension and balance, and Guadalupe has done that for you. Now you might end up not liking them anyway, but that's clearly the place to start.
 
tension , thats the word i was missing
thats what i worry about if i just "try and error"
