Guys,

Does anyone have or know of a video of a cavaquinho-tuned Uke?

I can find lots of the traditional instrument itself.

I know Suncoast makes a stringset specifically for this tuning, but I've not been successful finding any videos so I could hear it on a Uke.

Thanks


CD

Sure - DGBD is only one step away from standard DGBE baritone tuning so is a natural fit.

You can do an octave higher on soprano or concert with Southcoast XLL - http://www.southcoastukes.com/linear.htm
