Hey everyone,
I have just purchased a Risa LP Electric Tenor Steel String Uke.
https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Risa-LP-Electric-Tenor-Ukulele-Cherry-Sunburst/1YS5
I read a buch of reviews and just loved the sound on the vids I watched. Its not due to arrive until April because I'm down in Australia, but I'm excited to get it.
In the meantime I'm looking to see how I can buy strings for it.
The store reccomends these ones from Risa.
https://www.southernukulelestore.co...lele-strings-for-lp-st-and-te-style-ukuleles/
These guys are in the UK and the only other supplier I can find is in the US and they are out of Stock.
Does anyone know if I can get these or an equivilant anywhere else?
What are your thoughts on using Guitar strings? Shorter strings will mean less tension to achieve the notes so I'm thinking that it might be OK to tune up to GCEA using light gauge guitar strings like 9's or 10's.
If you can see something wrong with this logic that could put my new instrument at risk let me know.
If you have any other Idea's I'd love to hear it.
I'd just like to be able to get strings locally rather than odering in bulk online.
Thanks for any help.
