Using an E-string as a low A (and high G) string?
I'm playing a song that needs a low A string as the 4th. I don't have a low-G uke, but I can play it with a sloppy high G-string.
I was thinking though, whether it would be wiser to restring so that I'd take an E string from a set and put that as the 4th?
I wonder if my bridge would still bear if I then wanted that E string to be tuned to the high G, that is, 3 half-steps above what it is designed for on the 2nd place?
This is not a permanent solution, mainly just fooling around.
