Can someone give me an authoritative or at least orthodox definition of what the campanella style entails? By context, I can adduce that it is some fingerstyle technique, but what are the details?
Here are a few samples ... German only, but the videos are your friends

...the concept involves taking advantage of the re-entrant tuning of the ukulele, enabling one to use alternate strings for successive melody notes thereby allowing each individual note to "ring out" for as long as possible...
You've been given good answers to your original question, but this is a bit misleading. The re-entrant tuning gives the ukulele player one additional tool for playing campanella style. Campanella can be played just as well with a linear tuning. Some of us play this style with both types of tuning. Remember, campanella is a guitar technique adopted by us ukulele players.
Don't use campanella for the sake of campanella. It doesn't work musically for every type of music piece. That's where John king got it wrong sorry.
...Campanella is but one path to this goal there are plenty of others. If you don't like King's arrangements, maybe you will be able to publish some books and videos of your own arrangements which get the same recognition as we see recorded in this obituary?
Would you be so kind as to elaborate on King's mis-application of campanella?
I'm not trying to be difficult, but if such an issue exists, I'd like to become aware of it so as to avoid contributing to the problem myself.
A video or sound sample would help to clarify, if possible to add one to a written description.
Thanks in advance.
