Violele, Fiddle-lele -- Ukulele-Violin Hybrid (Bow-Paying Ukulele) by Rubber Tramp Studios
Any of you tried this -- or any -- bow-playing stringed instrument that is tuned with the ukulele’s G-C-E-A?
I am interested in the bow-paying instrument’s (violin, viola, etc.) unique sound as well as their ability to sustain a note. And I am very familiar with the ukulele’s G-C-E-A fret board.
So I was looking at tweaking a viola, which is tuned C-G-D-A by replacing the C (fourth) string with the G (third) string; and then using the D (second) string in place of the original placement of the G (third) string. And then with the two D strings in the middle (second and third), one (the third) goes down to C, and the other (the second) goes up to E.
But then I found this …

And, "Yes!!!", it is has frets!!!
Anyone try this? Any thoughts? I am also wondering about this instrument's ability to play a four-stringed chord with the bow.
