The first 3 strings are the same as regular baritone and the last 3 are an octave higher. than regular guitar.

I recommend those strings from Southcoast wholeheartedly. They sound like this: https://youtu.be/5_dnYOa5w-w

The Kanilea GL-6 strings are usually available at Hawaiian Music Supply for a cheaper price than Kanile'a sells them. I see that they are sold out at the moment. I buy several sets at a time since they do tend to sell out quickly.
