Hi everybody,
I have a short question to the ukulele experts here: I recently tuned my tenor Honu Rope up from GCEA to ADF#B and really love the sound of the different tuning. I "abused" my Aquila Nylgut GCEA strings for this which works totally fine - however, being able to keep the "slackier" (?) tense of the strings would be even more perfect. Therefore, I am wondering if there are any special ADF#B strings for tenor ukuleles out there. I didn't found any, it seems that these are only produced for sopranos. Aquila Nylgut offers a soprano ADF#B set which strings are 60 centimeters long – I guess this is just a few centimeters too short to get them on my Honu Rope. Does anybody here have any other recommendations? Or does it not matter anyway, as even special ADF#B strings will always sit more stiff/tight on my fretboard than a GCEA tuning? (sorry if not putting it in perfect words, no native speaker here - but I guess you understand what I mean ...)
Thanks a lot in advance! Have a nice Sunday!
EDIT: Just discovered that I should maybe have posted this in "Buying Tips" – as I can't delete this thread, please feel free to move it. Pardon and thanks!
