I'm an experienced musician ----- acoustic guitar, lap slide Weissenborn, mountain dulcimer. I've just bought a baritone ukulele on Ebay and I will receive it in a few days. It is my first ukulele. It will be tuned DGBE. The scale length is just over 20 inches.
I've had no experience with nylon strings. What would be some good quality, yet not too expensive, nylon string sets for a baritone? I will sometimes tune a bit lower than DGBE, so the string tension will need to be strong enough for that, but 95% of the time I will tune DGBE.
I may also be interested in purchasing single strings, rather than sets. What would be some suitable individual string gauges for my tuning? I will not be strumming the ukulele, I will be fingerpicking using a thumbpick and 2 fingerpicks.
Thanks for any help.
