I recently noticed messages (Ex: the mya moe vs larrivee thread) that refer to how folks tune their ukes one/half step up or down and how much of a difference it makes.
I see endless threads on strings used but selection of the tuning that matches the natural resonance of the body is not as common.. I guess it is due the fact strings can be selected where as the resonance of the body is fixed?
I also came across a video featuring Joel Eckhaus and he talks about how he uses his voice to discover the range of a body..
That got me playing around with my ukes, my voice and TE tuner app.. I found one of my tenors does even better one step down (was resonating before low G, around low A), another is perfect around GCEA with low g, another is better with high G.. one of ukes did not resonate (vibrate more than normal) the same way across my vocal range but still sounds good overall..
Question: Instead of just playing with strings first why is this not the first step of buying an instrument?
Any other commends?
