Hi, am a newbie and was wondering about the re entrant tuning. I saw on one site that the reason for this initially was the the first ukes could not hold a thicker lower G string. Any thoughts on this, does this seem right?
When I am trying to strum chords, or triads really, with the top melody note, then I find that I am limited to only one string when I get down to the middle G. For instance, that one is the third down and to support the G, I can play the C. If I play the first string, it is higher and seems to overtake the G as the melody. Am I right on this? What do y all do with the re entrant string? Play it as the melody instead of the A line?
How do I approach the re entrant tuning? Any pointers out there? Thanks!
