I assume you don't have a soprano sized 'ukulele? It probably wouldn't be a huge deal to use them if they are long enough. The bigger the 'ukulele you put them on, the tighter they will be. Just be careful and stop if they get really tight.2. It probably wouldn't hurt. 1. I assume you don’t have a soprano sized ‘ukulele?

I went to change my strings and after taking them off, I realized I have (what I guess) are soprano strings. (http://www.amazon.com/DAddario-J65-Ukulele-Strings-Soprano/dp/B0002H0LQO).

1) Can I use these/should I?

2) Would it be bad to leave it unstrung until tomorrow when I can get more?

Thanks!

Maybe if you could try some heavy classical ones. I don’t think light gauge classical strings would make sense because Jake uses classical strings. Maybe if you could try some heavy classical ones.

I have read several suggestions as how to go about putting together the DGBE from different sets, i.e. Light gauge Classical Guitar Strings numbers 2, 3, 4 & 5 that will tune to the DGBE tuning and be fairly comfortable. Some manufacturer should make sets like this. I have a wide neck Tenor that would be perfect for a Tenor tuned to DGBE.Thanks, Jim I am having difficulty find DGBE strings for a Tenor Uke.
