GUEST,Stan Tune a Ukulele same as Violin EADG? (45) RE: Tune a Ukulele same as Violin EADG? 25 Jul 12

5ths tuning is the best for playing trad tunes. Dare I suggest that anyone contesting this view hasn't tried it and its' alternatives?

For it to be session compatible the highest string would have to be E. Other strings would have to be heavier than normal uke gauges to get the lower pitches that 5th tuning ends up with.

It would be a great instrument to practice tunes on late at night.
