- A demonstration of a baritone ukulele, strung with Guadalupe octave strings - which are a full octave below a tenor ukulele with a low G fitted.
In the UK these are available from World of Ukes: worldofukes.co...
Thanks for taking the time. And for being totally honest. I can’t quite make up my mind, I love a deep sound. You made them sound pretty good.
Thanks Eileen. I could have made them sound pretty good all the way through by sticking to the techniques which work best, but I thought it'd be best to show what they're really like, the pros and cons.
I can see these strings being very useful for some. Thanks Matt for always being on the lookout for unusual resources! The sound is really powerful! And for the rattle, well, some people made that their signature sound like Stu Hamm on Bass...
George Hinchliffe asked me to get some and I ended up ordering 20 sets out of curiosity!
Quite a different real bass sound, probably agree with your summary that they provide a great alternative to a bass. Could be a fun try. Thanks for sharing
I think fun yes, whether it'd be a permanent solution, I don't know - but certainly an interesting experiment.
Is this the gauge of the middle 4 strings in a classical guitar set? Did you modify the tie bridge, saddle, or nut to accommodate the thicker strings?
I don't know the gauges, but they seem a little thicker than that. Tie bridge, no. Saddle - yes to lower the action, but not because of these strings. Nut, a little wider.
Thank you for sharing. Interesting for sure but I struggle a bit with my baritone normal strings already.
Yes, can be tricky with wound strings to get used to them.
I’m sure that’s it. All my ukuleles (including low g tuning) have unwound strings so that’s what I’m used to. My baritone is a recent acquisition. Thanks again!
I’m confused. How can you play the same chords with totally different tunings?
It isn't a different tuning, it is still GCEA. It's just that each note is an octave lower than usual. So your G will still be a G, just a deeper, lower G than normal. So if you played a C chord using these, and someone with a regular uke played their C chord, they'd still chime together, just yours would be like a bigger, deeper, lower version.
@@WorldofUkes thank you for answering me, but my baritone ukulele is D G B E though. That’s what is confusing me. I thought all baritone ukuleles were.
@christineminer2397 I see. Then yes, with yours the chords would be different. These would be even lower than yours, but would need you to work out the new chord names.
Interesting. I think they are made in East Los Angeles. I might give them a try.
They are, the shop looks great on the pictures I've seen.
Are they all wound strings Matt?
All but the A are wound Joyce.
