For those of youwho have a Risa LP tenor, what type and gauge of string do you use?

I have one on order and would like to have it strung high g. I requested it be set up like that, but I haven't gotten a reply back.

I'd have to change them sooner or later, so suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
 
I have a "kidney bean" Tenor, and a while back, I contacted Risa and they sent ma a wonderful chart on what diameter strings to use for the various tunings that would work on the instrument. I'm wondering if it would work for you? I just posted it on another Risa "Bean" uke about which strings. Since they are both tenors, don't see why this chart wouldn't work. Contact Rigk to see if this chart also applies to the LP.

I would recommend for a

heavy gauge (about 20 lbs tension):
low-G = 0.030" wound
C = 0.023" wound or 0.020" plain
E = 0.016" plain
A = 0.012" plain

light gauge (about 15 lbs tension):
low-G = 0.026" wound
C = 0.017" plain
E = 0.014" plain
A = 0.010" plain

A 0.018" for C is is okay. You can buy a standard electric guitar string
set 0.010" and take the first four strings of this set.

With kind regards
