Low G Ukulele Strings - an in-depth guide

You can see more string comparison videos on the 'Ukes with Alex' channel



At some point on your Ukulele journey you are likely to dabble or dive head first in to the world of Low G tuning and Low G strings. On average, 70% of the Tenor Ukuleles we see (at time of recording) are converted to Low G before they leave the store or are returned to us for set ups/pickup installations etc with a Low G fitted. Despite this, there isn't much information out there on which Low G's are right for certain styles and which Low G's you should try.

Today I took my Sumi Kobo Tenor and jumped straight in to the cold dip trying a mixture of 8 different Low G's on my Ukulele. For anybody wondering; my combination of C, E and A string are as follows.

C - Aluminium Wound C made by Ko'olau
E - Seaguar Fishing line .028 Clear Fluorocarbon
A - Seaguar Fishing line .022 Clear Fluorocarbon
