¡ Only 2 Rules Apply Here !
# 1 :
There are no rules
# 2 :
Refer to Rule # 1
This video shows a resonator ukulele with what sounds to me like it's sporting steel strings .
It's made to take the steel tension sure , but , it's possible I betcha .

If you use common sense you can , if you tune down and lessen the tension on the neck .
In Mx. & here in southern California , Arizona N.M & Texas I have seen old worn down
Spanish classical type guitars sounding great with steel strings  , the solution was tuning
them down to " D " or even lower to " C " , those who did this had guitars that didn't
bow at the neck or pull up at the bridge period .
I would venture to say it would apply to a ukulele too .
Would I do this to my Blonde Koa vintage 1950 something Kamaka soprano - - -
¡ Are you cwazy !
