A while ago, I made a post on whether its possible to have a Ukulele that's tuned to GCEA, but an octave lower than normal.
Well, as I was falling asleep, I got this bright idea on how it could be possible (on a Baritone Uke) without risking damage to the instrument.
Regular Baritone Uke strings are:
DGBE
What if you rearrange the order of the strings set up on the Baritone uke to:
GDEB
Then you retune those strings to:
GCEA
Since the D string is close to C, and the B string is close to A (one note down), I don't see why it shouldn't work. As a result, would we get a Baritone-sounding uke that retains the re-entrant GCEA?
Alas I don't have a Baritone Uke to try this on (but I intend to buy a Baritone Uke as my next purchase... specifically a Kala KA-BE with shadow pickup )
please comment and discuss~
