On this subject. This seems like an almost impossible thing to do on a re-entrant Uke. It seems you would have to play all of the other notes of the chord up an octave.

Well, let's take C/G. The lowest G on a re-entrant Uke is higher than your open C & E strings. So to play a C chord with G as the bass note, you have to play it
--7--
--8--
--7--
--0--

or an Em/B
--9--
--11--
--12--
--10--

Whereas on a low G Uke, the first position chords are already C/G and Em/B

double chords?
