I've started buying original sheet music from the '20s, '30s, & '40s for songs I'm interested in learning. I've found that they contain the very interesting intros that are usually omitted in modern reproductions and fake books. They make for a more interesting performance.
A lot of these old sheets also have uke chord diagrams. Again, some of the old voicings and patterns are more interesting and pleasing than the more modern treatments.
At what point did the "normal" uke tuning switch from D tuning to C tuning? Why was D tuning the norn? When I get a new sheet, how do I tell which tuning the uke diagrams are in?
Thanks in advance for any insights!
