U.U. lesson 6 got me thinking about a couple of questions regarding the ADF#B tuning.
1. How does one determine what tuning (C or D) works better for a particular song? I tried playing Schizophrenic Snowflakes on a C-tuned uke and it indeed doesn't sound as good as it does in D tuning. Why is that?
2. Is it healthy for the ukulele and/or its strings to have it's tuning changed between C & D frequently? Is it OK to leave ukes tuned to D-tuning or should it always be brought back down to C-tuning when we're done playing?
Thanks for any insights to these Q's.
