At some point on your Ukulele journey you are likely to dabble or dive head first in to the world of Low G tuning and Low G strings. On average, 70% of the Tenor Ukuleles we see (at time of recording) are converted to Low G before they leave the store or are returned to us for set ups/pickup installations etc with a Low G fitted. Despite this, there isn't much information out there on which Low G's are right for certain styles and which Low G's you should try.
Today I took my Sumi Kobo Tenor and jumped straight in to the cold dip trying a mixture of 8 different Low G's on my Ukulele. For anybody wondering; my combination of C, E and A string are as follows.
C - Aluminium Wound C made by Ko'olau
E - Seaguar Fishing line .028 Clear Fluorocarbon
A - Seaguar Fishing line .022 Clear Fluorocarbon
The 8 Low G's can be purchased at the links below. NORTH AMERICAN SHIPPING IS NOW AVAILABLE VIA THE WEBSITE
