8-string!

I'm starting an 8-string tenor uke, tuned Gg Cc aa ee.  I have that trapezoid La Flor Dominica box, or maybe a bigger Indian Tabac that is still in the stash.  The LFD is rather shallow but quite large.  The Tabac is more than 2" deep.

Opinions?

  • I've done dual 3-strings before, but never dual 4! I think with nylon strings and such a short scale I'll be able to get away with no truss rod. Dunno if I'd try that with steel strings.
  • Hi Diane,
    I recently finished an 8 string CBG http://www.cigarboxnation.com/video/8-string-cbg
    I was surprised with how much better it sounds with the extra run of strings :O)
    Regards,
    David
