Use 2 9volt batteries in parallel for longer use or a 9volt Walwart with a high milliamp rating(800ma or higher). Walwarts can sometimes cause RF…"

Hi Bizzaro...For my Tenor Ukes with steel strings, I use Electric guitar strings: Low G=26W, C=17, E=12, A=10. The string anchor point should be as short/close to the bridge as possible, no more than 2 inchs, because the total length of the string has a lot to do with way the string vibrates even though it is terminated by the bridge and nut. Having a sharp angle on the string at the bridge and nut is also very important. I always use a neck through for my steel string ukes.

Hi there.
Thanks for the friend request. I must say how much I like your skull guitar. Very striking instrument. You're obviously getting stuck in to this stuff. Look forward to seeing more from you very soon.
All the best.
John
