When your uke is strung with low g strings, and you use a clip on tuner, are you still tuning the top string to G by the tuner? Does that make sense?
5th fret on low G is C, same as 4th string open, as a double check.
Slower and dumber please? If I fret the low g string at the 5th fret it should sound the same as what? Isn't c the 3rd string? Sorry, very new player

I hope this doesn't make things even more confusing for anyone, but if my tuner is set for chromatic, a G is a G is a G, and a C is a C is a C, and so on, but on the U for ukulele setting, it only recognizes the octave that pertains to an individual string. So my question, I've never used a low G, would a tuner necessarily recognize the low G on the U setting? I'm just saying it could get frustrating, and maybe even stretch a low G pretty tight if it only recognized the high G. I wouldn't want someone breaking a string or damaging a uke. It does register on the chromatic setting on my tuner though.

Both low and high G have same overtone and tuner doesn't matter if low or high. Try 12th fret on your ukulele.

Not way more complicated at all. You blow in the pipe and it makes the noise. Then you can get the right octave. You can still use an electronic tuner to do the fine tuning. You can use both tuning tools at once, its not like you will blow up if you use a pitch pipe and an electronic tuner at the same time.
You could also probably find an app that make the audio noise for the right GCEA notes if you can't wait to order a pitch pipe. Again you don't have to torture yourself with doing it all by ear, you can use both the audio App and your electronic tuner to get the string tuned correctly.
