Acoustic D string?

Hi - I don't know how to use this site but here goes.

I'd like to tune an acoustic tenor uke to low G. I've seen on You Tube that you can use a D string from an acoustic guitar. Has anyone tried this?  If so, are any of you guitarists out there in possession of a pre-loved D string you could donate to the experiment?

I'm going to click on create thread now so as the song goes 'watch what happens' ..........
