Location: Phoenix AZ | In addition to the (3rd) Uke, I also just got myself a pair of nice zildgen cymbals that attach between my knees.
Tony, following my lead is low risk. Just don't follow the lead of playadamas. That one has serious consequences.
Speaking of Tenor Uke - does anyone have experience with octave G tuning (standard) vs. low G tuning (use wound classical D string) ??? |

Location: SoCal | re: "with octave G tuning (standard) vs. low G tuning (use wound classical D string) ???" - no idea what that means. As I have a 'A' mando tuned "Nashville" (MM68 standard GDAE), might try "G" tuning (also like a guitar)
Common Tenor Ukulele Tunings
"C" tuning "G" Tuning "D" tuning
A (440 Hz) E (329.6 Hz) B (493.9 Hz)
E (329.6 Hz) B (246.9 Hz) F# (370 Hz)
C (261.6 Hz) G (192 Hz) D (293.7 Hz)
G (196 Hz) D (293.7 Hz) A (220 Hz) |

Location: Phoenix AZ | What I mean is - most people tune their tenor ukes as follows (low to high):
G (196), C (261.6), E (329.6), A (440)
What I was asking was, does anyone know about tuning it like this:
G (98), C (261.6), E (329.6), A (440)
I have read that guys who do this tuning use a wound 4th string (G), which is actually a D string from a classical set of strings. |

Location: Fayetteville, NC | the treker floating around the OFC Tour sounded pretty good. I was impressed. I'm thinking of getting one to keep around for when my oldest boy turns 6 or 7 to see if he wants to learn to play. I figure the size would fit him perfectly for learning purposes. |
