I haven't tried these yet, my preference has always been D'Addario but I'm going to order them anyway. As to the question, for acoustic I would NEVER tune them up. If you like open chords, just get a capo and raise it up as much as you want.

I asked my son. I bought these strings for him. He indicated that he wouldn't recommend attempting to tune up as the metal is softer than other strings, although he said that he liked the sound. The strings didn't last long for him.

tuning up on standard guitar strings is dangerous, I recommend you get custom gauge strings, that sounds complicated but it's simple enough for you to figure out. hopefully you know you need a smaller string for a higher note at the same tension.

Not a good idea. The tuner doesn't respond to any of lowest 15 white and black keys below C2, which is two octaves below C4 (middle C).

I really like the EXP 17's which are the same string as the 16 but in a medium gauge. The heavier gauge takes a little getting used to, and they are not recommended for all guitars (check with the manufacturer), but the increase in volume and authority of my sound I feel is well worth it. Btw- I just tried a set EXP19's and they are basically medium gauge tops with lights on the bottom. Not a bad idea really. A little easier on the fingers. By all means stick with the phosphor bronze for a mellow tone.

Hi Bennison, I personally have finally settled on th EJ26-3d strings. They are a custom light .011-.052 and are a little easier onthe fingers while still giving you a full fat sound.

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.

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)

I don't think I can recommend these strings at all had bad strings out of the package the g string buzzed then snapped while tuning . also you may have to adjust the truss rod to compensate for the tension i use martin strings and a heavier gauge better tone

The other guy stated that you can only use electric strings. ...I'm using acoustic strings on mine and it works just fine.

The clarity of highs is what I would describe as "bright"or "crisp" which hopefully is helpful. Since it's a guitar not a bass guitar these could work for you. I use them mostly for music and occasionally T.V.

No the strings won't be tuned I'd advise in getting a tuner especially since it being new strings they won't stay tuned for long. But eventually they stay tuned.

Yes...and no. Yes, it's tuned in "fourths" like a guitar, so you play the 5th fret on the lowest string to tune the next higher string just like a guitar. But, you can't really tune it to E, there's not enough string tension. So the top and bottom strings are tuned to A. So it's like playing a regular guitar with a capo at the fifth fret.

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.

Yes, but if you do any really low tuned songs, like D Drop C; you may want to look into the NMCE-11 DR NEON Electric Heavy, multi-color.

You could tune to any instrument type but you would most likely need to change the strings to get the best tone. I would change the fourth string first.

I upgraded to Thomastik Dominant Violin String set Ball End strings. I'm a novice and it was easy to change strings, I had no issues with the fine tuners.

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.

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.
