The ukulele eventually gets to everyone, including renowned contemporary Christian artist Steven Curtis Chapman:

I saw him in concert and it looks like he emptied out the guitar center acoustic room. The stage was literally littered with acoustic guitars, mandolins, ukes, and banjos.

Someone on Youtube said this was a baritone uke, but I couldn't find a Cordoba baritone with the cutaway. I was thinking he was playing these chords in the baritone tuning, but you all believe it's a tenor which would be a different tuning, correct ?
