Which octave is the g string?
331692
I have only bought two sets of Concert sized strings for my ukuleles. These have been high g strings. I would imagine that as long as it is not noted in the text for the strings the g string should be high g. that is the most common option.

I think it is the Octave with Middle C. I could be wrong. I tune mine with the standard GCEA combo on the piano. Don't know if that helps at all, but that's my guess. You can tune it up and down if you want as well...

Not sure. I purchased this for my grandson who picked it out for a special occasion. We brought it into a local music store and purchased a backup set up strings. All were standard.

it is a six string guitar. the g, b, and high e strings are nylon. the low e, a, and d strings are nylon wrapped in metal. and the guitar comes with the 6 strings

I purchased a OU2 concert model for my grandson several.months ago. It was equipped with GHS string...not the best but OK. For a.much better sound from this instrument put on aquila strings. You'll notice a big difference..

I bought some extra tension strings to tune it E-A-D-G-B-e. It didnt work well. It would match the intonation but sounded sloppy. So I re-tuned it A-D-G-C-E-a.

unfortunately, I can't answer this question. I haven't used either "G" since I only use it to make phone calls and receive phone calls.

Yes. You can use the chromatic mode to tune any string to any note frequency. All you need to know is what each string should be tuned to for drop D (or any other tuning). If you do not know the notes then it is a good idea that you learn them :)

Although I have a bass, I have never tried it through the G5...but I was thnking about it just last week. It is possible to get bass like sounds out of a guitar, but its not ideal. I was considering using a real bass to just layer in something with the looper function then switch back to 6 string for overdubs.I see no reason why the effects, EQs, compressors etc wouldn't work fine. I doubt you'd get much mileage out of the amp models and distortion stomps though - or the tube booster circuit. I guess it could be quite creative (with the z-pedal!), or it could be a reasonable tool for tailoring a sound...can't vouch for it just yet though I'm afraid.

Regular tuning in c is ok, neck is strong. Less stress con be achieved by tuning an octave lower and then use a capo( This is recommended for older instruments)

The "C" string is the thicker of the two. Now go and play some tunes. Good luck

Same concept, but an octave lower. The larger of the low E strings on twelve string generally is .047 or so, the same as a six string. The smaller is .027 and is tuned an octave higher. On a baso sexto, the larger low E is around .092, and the smaller is .047, so the smaller string is the same pitch as a normal six string, and the larger is an octave lower. Even if you filed the nut for the larger strings I don't know if the body would handle the additional stress for long. It's a well build, sturdy guitar with great sound for the money but it isn't designed to be a bass.

Very Carefully... sorry, I could not help myself. It is usually tuned in the standard guitar tuning of EADGBE and usually with the heavier "medium" phosphor bronze strings .013- .056... sometimes (still using those strings) it is tuned in a drop D tuning of DADGBE where the 6th string (low E) is lowered to D from E a tuner with a plug in jack makes it easier to tune

You need much more control of your fingers. The keys are super sensitive. One thing I really enjoy is how easy it is to change octaves.

Bach's Minuet in G major, and Bach's Air on the G String...I'm stumped on the last one!

Yes the octave is displayed. Sometimes it 'hears' some of the overtones and displays those, but usually it's correct

There's a Chromatic Tuning option, so as long as you know the pitch (note name) of the string you're playing and see that it corresponds correctly with the note on the screen of the tuner, then you're doing it right.

You don't need to capo the guitele; it's tuned to the same key, the only difference is that you have two lower pitched strings to add some deeper tones to the mix. The normal (non-baritone) 4 string uke is gCEA, while the guitele is ADGCEA. The 4 higher pitched strings are the same on each (though the uke could be reentrant or not; ie. higher g or lower G), so that if both play a C chord, the notes will all be the same, just that the guitele has those two lower notes to add to the chord. Note the the guitele is like a guitar capoed at the 5th fret, and the standard uke tuning is the 4 higher guitar strings capoed at the 5th fret. Hope this helps.
