To avoid the mistake I made, don't consider putting a wound string on a ukelele with plastic frets, such as the popular Enya Nova-U models. There is a Pro version with metal frets which may be OK. No wound Low Gs or tuning in 5ths for us plastic people.
A great video Matt. I personally think that body size is an important factor (The ukulele not the player !! lol) when it comes to resonance. For example, I prefer High G on my Concert size and Low G takes advantage of more wood on my larger Tenor giving a bit more depth.
Good point! I hadn't thought to compare sizes. I do like low G on smaller ukes too - but always wound. I love those old videos of Ohta San playing low G on a Martin 3m soprano.
Interesting and educational video Matt thank you. I have a couple of ukes on low g and a couple on high g. A great excuse to have more Ukes 😊 👍
The ideal number of ukes is whatever you have +1 :)
Think I'm 1+ 15 😁
Brilliant explanation Matt. I now understand the difference....at last! Many thanks.
Great to hear! Thanks Lisa.
Nice job making the differences/options truly understandable
Thanks Karen! 👍
Fantastic, thank you 🙏 If I may ask, where do you suggest I can purchase the low g wound string? Thanks so much Matt! ❤

Hive uke! Which is the other one?
It's a ukulele I built myself. :)
