thats a bit like saying Segovia only used one set of chords. Its what you do with them - not how many tunings you know.

I've never seen a really good tuition video on the uke. And I did throw a few hundred quid at the project one time. It looks hideously difficult, like frailing a five string.

Most people you see playing them are lunatics.

there is definitely a hole in the market for someone who can mastermind the resurrection of this very delicate and demanding instrument.

Good instruments aren't cheap though, and frankly its a bit like deciding you want to play the guitar in 1947. there just ain't the community and back up to help you - you really will find yourself on your own.

If you aspire to create music that is - if you want to join the band of lunatics, I bet they'd find a place for you in their ranks.
