Hi,
I was wondering...
I understand that the baritone uke is tuned just like the 4 highest strings of a guitar DGBE (lowest to highest pitch).
Are they the same octave though?
The baritone uke strings are clearly shorter than a guitar's strings.
So a given baritone string (D for example) couldn't be tuned at the same octave as the corresponding guitar string for the same note (D for example). Right?
So are the baritone strings actually tuned an octave or more higher than the guitar strings or maybe the baritone strings are thicker or looser to get the same pitch and octave as the guitar?
Please inform if you know.
Thanks!
Rich
