Hullo all, just thought I would get your opinions on the range of the ukulele. I know this can be largely affected by which size you are playing (restrict this to soprano/concert/tenor, as much as is possible), and what tuning of strings you are using (high/low top string).
Anyways, I wanted to hear your feelings on the range of the instrument when playing more popular music. I assume that there shouldn't be much trouble with it for playing the traditional music that uke was intended for, since it is built for that. For other music, do you ever feel limited by the range, is it common to find songs that you just can't get to sound right without having someone playing another instrument? How much of a difference does the low g tuning make for you?
From what I have seen and heard, people seem to do a pretty good job playing all sorts of music with the Uke. Unfortunately, that doesn't give you a count of how many other songs people may have wanted to learn, but given up on, due to the limitations of the instrument.
Thanks, in advance, for all your opinions!
