Subject: RE: Ukelele folk tunes
If you re-string and re-tune the uke to the same as the top four strings on a guitar you will be able to play an awful lot of folk tunes. The majority of folk tunes have a highest note of B. This is at the seventh fret of the first string. If you use normal tuning rather than re-entrant, the lowest note of D will allow most tunes to be played.
Of course, technically, the instrument will no longer be a ukulele.
