Would the "not even" strings be good for drop c and drop b tuning?

These are regular slinkys, but the "not even slinkys" are specifically built for drop tuning. You may still get some flubbing on a low B, but if you do, just get a thicker gauge of string.

no these are regular i bought not even slinky and there great just very thick its better for songs with harmonics too

Of course. Any will work technically. They are light so I mean, standard e and even dropping D will sound good.

Tune each string within each open tuning you are in, not the whole tuning of 6 strings together.

The strings are not only included, they are tuned properly. You will have to fine tune them when you play as you would normally.

I'm sorry I meant tuning the strings is easy. to actually play might be difficult. I mean my fingers have not bled but they have calloused and sometimes I can't get the chord to play because its difficult.

I'm sure you could. They should be easy to find in your local music store or on Amazon. The strings that came on my daughters sound just fine, however, they do tend to come out of tune easy. Maybe that's a problem with the tuning keys though. My husband's the guitar expert, not me. lol!

I like these strings (Martin SP) in light gauge (high E is .012). The sound is good and I've had 'em on my Gibson for a few weeks now. I tried Ernie Ball Earthwood lights and the high E is a little thinner (.011) and they sounded alright also. Extra light strings might not have enough bass for a Martin dreadnaught, but probably good on the OM and smaller models. Happy pickin'!

Yes, but it probably won't be in tune because new strings stretch for quite a while. Go to someone who knows how to tune it. If you tighten the strings too tight, they will snap, like a 100 lb fish on 5 lb test line.

Hey Coop, I am not sure but it's one string at a time 440 tuning... does guitar, bass, uke and violin.

Regular tuning has worked thus far for me... If it's going to sit for a while, tuning it down may not be a bad idea.

I do not recommend using the stock strings regardless of what gauge they are. Also, the saddle and tension rod should be adjusted for best experience.

I've not tried it but the description says, "This compact chromatic tuner supports a broad range of C1 (32.70 Hz)-C8 (4186.01 Hz), allowing speedy and high-precision tuning of wind, string, keyboard, and other instruments" so I'd think so. I have 3 for guitars and they work great for that (2 are the newer CA-1 model, which is almost the same).

These are great strings and I think you have your answer below. It does take a long time to get new strings to stay in tune, though. Get a tuner and tune it every time you pick it up. Keep your old strings as back up, but, you'll never use them. Aquila is worth buying. You can take your uke to a music store. I bet they'd be happy to assist. Have fun and check out all the youtube tutorials. They are very helpful, too.

I think S. Alexander answered well. I cannot really help you because, as I said, I don't use it do to the poor tuning issue.

I play in a string band and it handles my fiddle (high end) and our stand up bass (low end) just fine. Not sure how that low B will be. It's a solid tuner. Our guitar players have Boss tuners and they are switching to the Korg.

You may have to change the string gauges to achieve this affect. Are you talking about not using the 5th string then?

Using the chromatic setting you can tune any string to any note. For example I use it to tune to open E tuning . I was told in an email by the company that the standard tuning setting is pretty much just there as a guide to new users (i.e. these are notes you should tune to). So as long as you know what note to tune strings to in a C tuning you will be fine.
