Can a baritone uke be tuned GCEA? like a tenor? A friend of mine found an old baritone uke in his garage and is wanting me to have it. I only want it if I can tune it traditionally.

You have to buy special strings to tune a bari GCEA. Musicguymic usually has them.

And if you put a low G on it, it's great for guitar songs and ballads.
