Couple of months ago, I started a topic of the possibility of having a Uke with its GCEA tuning an octave lower.
I got mixed replies - some saying it would be an interesting idea, others saying that it defeats the purpose of a uke, or that it would sound too muddy.
And today, upon reading about bass guitars, I ran into something called the "Baritone Guitar", which is commonly tuned: A-D-G-C-E-A, which is a fifth lower than regular guitar tuning. It's a range between regular guitar and bass guitar.
I wonder whether such a guitar would be easy to learn for the Ukulele player (at least the bottom 4 strings). Apparently the two low strings (A D) are low enough to play like a Bass.
Just thought I'd share
