I have a baritone ukulele with ~20" scale length. 20" is the 4th fret on a normal nylon string guitar. I installed guitar nylon string on it (only D, G, B and hi E strings).
I expect to be able to tune 4 half steps above guitar tuning which is: F#, B, D# , G# because these are the notes at 20" (4-th fret) on a guitar.
And of course, I plan to push a bit more to get G C E A like an (tenor/concert) ukulele with low G.
It is kind of strange that I feel the strings are quite tense when I tune as D G B E (same as a guitar). Don't want to go to GCEA as I am afraid something will break.
Amazon do have baritone string sets for GCEA and DGBE (2 sets for each tuning).
Am I doing OK using guitar string on my baritone uke, tuned as DGBE ?
