Big Al Whittle	advice sought ukulele tuning (26)	advice sought ukulele tuning	06 Jul 17
i got my first serious uke quite recently deciding to give it both barrels concentration wise. most tuition books advise you to tune the bottom string to G. however when i got the George Formby Society dvd it suggested tuning a whole tone up with the bottom string on A. And sure enough it does deliver a more formbyesque sound. crisper and sweeter than G. Now heres my question - will the same trick work with the tenor and baritone uke? I don't want to break strings, ans also i wondered if anyone else was doing this already.
