Wondering if any one has done this and if you have been successful what strings do you suggest?
Thanks, Barry
Thanks, Barry
I just want to take the opportunity to ask, I hear about tuning to fifths quite often. I was at a festival recently and the woman next to me wanted me to know that she was tuned in fifths. I didn't get a chance to talk to her about it. So what is the reason to tune to fifths? Would that require one to use a different fingering for chords? What do you gain by it? What do you have to give up for it? Okay, thanks. I just wondered.

Keenouke,
Could you recommend strings which would give me the CGDA tuning on my tenor?
Thanks!
(Well I am finally getting back to this thread. I have really been enjoying my Lfdm tenor with 31u fifth string tuning. Primarily I am an advanced mandolin player and my brain thinks naturally in fifths. Now I could easily play all my chord progressions naturally without having to learn new configurations. I intend to try out different gauges of strings in order to fine tune the tonal quality of my ukulele.
Is anyone familiar with the expected longevity of these Aquila 31u strings? Also any other recommended string gauges for 5ths?
