Q: I have a kala ka-b and the g string is wearing out. the strings were nylgut but the d and g were wound. which aquilas should i buy?

Hi, This 21U listing is the standard Aquila Nylgut Low D Baritone set and contains 2 wound strings and 2 Nylgut strings and so should be perfect.If you'd like to try other Aquila baritone sets, please also view the Aquila Nylgut Baritone High G Tuning – 23U, Aquila Super Nylgut Lava Series Baritone GCEA High G Tuning – 117U, Aquila Super Nylgut Lava Series Baritone DGBE Low D Tuning – 116U or the Aquila Nylgut 'Red Series' Baritone Low D Tuning Set – 89UAlternatively, you could always just go for the single Aquila 49U - Aquila Nylgut Baritone DGBE Tuning Single 3rd G String option.I hope that helps.Best regardsChris

Q: What is the best Baritone Ukulele book for a beginner who knows some music theory?

Baritone Ukulele from Scratch by Bruce Emery. He is hands down the best music educator and string teacher that I have come across for ukes, guitars, etc. Believe me as I have bought just about all of them. Bruce marries the theory with the chords, etc. He clearly demonstrates how to play the entire neck of the uke. He has written many books and I have found them all to be the best that I have come across as a beginner/intermediate player.

Q: Any reason you couldn't tune the D (low D) string to high D?

Don't do it. You will ruin the strings or warp the fretboard, or both. Only use strings made for the instrument you are using tuned to the pitch they are designed for. Even something as seemingly harmless as putting steel strings on a guitar made for nylon strings can cause ireparable harm to your instrument even if you tune it the same. If you want a high D, try finding a high D set.

Q: Is it possible for a ukelele to have just one fret that creates a nasty buzzing sound?

Well, I'm late to the party, lol. Cello and bass players sometimes use very tiny bits of very flat, thin leather or some such. Loosen the string enough to get a bit under it, assuming it'll slide forward some as you tighten. The bit might raise the string just enough to clear the fret, although it will very slightly dampen the sound. I'd try both ends where the string hits and see what works best.
