I purchased a Fender Montecito Ukulele today. The price was good, but the strings were a wreck so I brought it home to try it out since the store has a lenient return policy. It is a tenor size, so I picked up some Aquila New Nylgut "Tenor Reg" (10 U) strings. I replaced all of the strings, and I ended up with low G tuning. I checked some of the reviews on the ukulele (should have done this ahead of time, but it was an impulse buy), and it does in fact come setup for low G.
My understanding was that you could switch back and forth between low and high G just by switching out the string. However, I think the 10 U strings are high G, so I don't understand how I ended up in low G.
I am very new to this, so I am probably missing something obvious. Can someone please help me understand what is going on here?
