Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

- A: Yes. The Golden Alloy wound G string is typically thin enough that it will fit most standard Concert and Tenor ukulele nut slots without requiring modification.
- Q: What is the benefit of a Low G set compared to a High G set?
- A: A Low G (linear) set extends the ukulele's tonal range downward by a fourth, providing deeper bass notes and enabling arrangements that include descending bass lines, unlike the High G (re-entrant) set.
- Q: What is the winding on the Low G string made of?
- A: The 4th string is wound with a Golden Alloy (80/20 Brass), which is known for its bright initial attack but smooth, warm sustain, making it a favorite for blending with nylon strings.
