That's brilliant i will see you at the vale on 28th march
Looking forward to it!
Thanks SO much for that, Paul. That’s the first time high/low G has made sense to me, and the first time I’ve ever understood ‘re-entrant tuning’.
Much appreciated.
you are most welcome buddy
Fantastic explanation- thanks Paul!
many thanks
The piece of music played on the high G sounded more melodic to my ears. I play a low G Tenor but have been considering adding a high G Tenor ukulele to my collection. I can certainly see the pluses of this set up. Thank you Paul.
thanks Judi - you are most welcome.
You are a fantastic ukulele player and both songs sounded wonderful, but I can not work out if I preferred the low G or the high G 🤔
thats really kind of you
Thank you for this really informative and helpful video. As a relative newcomer to ukulele and someone who only owns a soprano at the moment, and has only played reentrant, may I ask a couple of questions please?
1. Are the Low G strings thicker than the High G?
2. If thicker, can that cause any issues at the nut?
3. Are Low G strings better suited to the ukulele models with a longer scale length?
4. Can using a Low G on a Soprano have issues with tension being too slack on that string?
Many thanks and apologies for so many basic questions.
I love your playing style by the way and the choice of a Bach Cello Suite
No problem at all - that's what we're here for! :D
1. Yeah, low G's are thicker than high G's due to the difference in tension. A thin low G would be a bit floppy, and a thick high G would be too taut.
2. You may need to file the nut groove a little bit wider to make room for the thicker string, but not by much.
3/4. They're typically suited for tenors or concerts, but there's no reason you can't do it on a soprano - it just might not be as low as expected, due to the tension required, and the size of the instrument body. If it's a quality built soprano, then you should be fine, but if it's one a the cheaper end of the scale, it might cause the neck to bend.
Our recommendation - stick with reentrant on the soprano, and get a tenor with a low G. That will give you the best sound, along with another ukulele...which is essential! ;)
@@AnarchyInTheUkuleleTV thanks so much for the in depth reply and for the advice/information. A tenor is now on my list to join my Kiwaya soprano.
@@IanRoberts-sz8nx Excellent! Just be careful - ukulele buying is a serious condition that effects millions of marriages every day!
