I posted a thread earlier on 8 string ukes and in researching them, I discovered 5 and 6 string ukes. What are your thoughts and experiences with 5 and 6 string ukes? Would they be good as a daily player or are they more a niche kind of instrument? Compared to the 8 string, they seem to have more of a regular ukulele sound with more depth and richness from the videos I watched. The 8 string almost had more of a mandolin sound. It looks like there are 3 different incarnations of the 5 and 6 strings.
5 string
- The G string is doubled with a high and low G
- regular C, E, A
6 string
- The G string is doubled with a high and low G
- The C string is doubled with a high and low C
- Regular E, A
6 string
- Regular G
- Doubled C with high and low C
- Regular E
- Doubled A with high and low A
I'd be interested in hearing other's thoughts and opinions on the various incarnations.
