I often tune soprano ukes up from standard C to D tuning (a,D,F#,B) and those strings are pretty tight. On some ukes, they're tight enough to choke the tone and the uke sounds very thin.

I have a hard time imagining the strings being loose if I continued tightening them up another 3 half steps to F tuning (c,F,A,D)
