Hi all, my first post - hope I am posting in the right place!
I prefer songs that tend to sound better a bit lower (for want of a better term). So I tend to play my Tenor Uke (Enya HPL) with a low G more.
But sometimes I want a lower sound without a low G (as it doesn't suit all songs) and it would be a bonus (but not essential) if this could be on a concert. I have only been playing for just under a year and couldn't justify more than ~$250 AUD ($150USD ) if I decide to get another uke.
What factors can influence this? Are there some models in this price range that produce a deeper/lower sound?
Are there strings that are all lower (not just low G)?
Is tuning standard strings a bit lower feasible?
Any other ideas?
As an aside. Is there a definition of terms people use in reviews like 'bright', 'warm', etc. in reviews. I am never sure if I really understand them.
Thanks!
