Tenor Ukulele Strings, High G or Low G?, Koolau String comparison

http://www.hawaiimusicsupply.com/
Aaron from Hawaii Music Supply plays on 2 sets of ukulele strung with a high and low G. Using Ko'olau Strings and Pono Pro Classic series ukes we got to hear both options in action. Call or email with any questions. Aloha!

I want to install a low G to my tenor uke, what string do I need to buy? Is it one of the strings that usually comes in the pack of strings or does it specify it?? Where can I buy em??

@Plocky241 If you have a guitar store near that sells singles, get a D string .032 usually from a CLASSICAL set, not steel. or get a whole new set of tenor low g, Thanks!

And if you cannot buy a low G-string in your country (and if ordering from abroad, the shipping would cost way more than the string itself), can you use a guitar string as a low G-string on the uke? If yes, which guitar-string then?

[HawaiiMusicSupply]

@jlaci You can use a D string from a Classical set. Usually a .032

Very nice playing, Aaron. What gauge is that low G?

[HawaiiMusicSupply]

Thanks a lot for this comparison. I'm playing high G so far, but I could give low G a chance:o)

What song are you playing when you start with the MHTSH Low G? It's beautiful.
