Interesting. normal tension guitar sets usually give a normal tension GCEA for tenor scale. For you to be 3 semitones lower on concert scale and starting from a low tension set, I would imagine you have a very low tension configuration here.

Overall favorite strings currently in production and very close second to Southcoast which are no longer available sadly

Nice! What are the drum pedals?

Can I ask where you're located? I think you'd be better off first finding a trustworthy dealer than can provide some quality control and preferably do a decent setup. If you can find that, the exact model is of lesser importance

Probably not a bad answer. I see this is an entry level model but I've seen off-the-shelf Yamaha GL1s with way better "setup" than that.

I'm not familiar with that brand but 5mm is incredibly high in my view. I prefer closer to half that - 2.5mm - which means you'd have to take 5mm off of the saddle. YIkes. How is the action at the nut?

for tenor scale, I agree with you - Bb or A is my usual preference. But I rather like B tuning for concert scale

that's not how I think of these tunings. I treat them as a transposing instrument. I always "think in C" in terms of what chords/notes I'm playing even if the uke I'm holding isn't GCEA. This means I might have to rewrite my chord chart to fit but I don't have to know different names for the...

If you want that two day Amazon ukulele, you can have it. 🙃

That top tho! 🤤

The ukulele isn't the star here but it's in there. It's a super tenor from Bonanza Ukuleles in cFAD tuning

I've started whipping out my iPhone when I find something I like. I'll even just say the fret locations like "4 6 7 0" (or whatever) so I can find it again later. Now I have a bunch of things recorded, most of which I'll never come back to 🙃

Definitely looks like Cocobolo. Where did you find that?

It's 16" scale. You should be able to use either depending on your tension preference. I think my 16" Cocobolo has concert strings at C tuning (but one of the last Southcoast sets so hard to say definitely) . I bet tenor strings at B tuning would also be nice

Well, that's probably true, but I for one, found a distinct preference for the shorter scale

Bruko might be a consideration. you'd probably have to order direct

Well, i don't think it's dangerous to try but might be higher tension than you like. I know I've seen Ken Middleton tune up a half step on standard baritone scale and you're less than that so it should work. I just prefer lower tension configurations.

So you want EAC#F# tuning? I've found standard tenor sets usually give me that on 19" scale. For example the Living Water low G tenor set

If this is the set, you should be able to judge thickness pretty easily. https://www.stringsbymail.com/aquila-rubino-normal-tension-classical-guitar-strings-134c-full-set-15208.html
