It is very good to meet you. I'm a night owl and the sun is rising, so it is high time for me to retire but I think I feel lucid enough to explain my opinion on the question of tonality. I think it is basically in the ear of the beholder. I'm not saying that someone is crazy if they hear a difference or that they are imposing some quality which isn't there. I'm just saying that the difference is a deal breaker to some people and to others, like me, it doesn't mean much. I guess I have broader definitions. If I fret the 8th fret of the E string and the tuner says it is a C, then I'm cool with that. The note may be a bit warm or bright or muted or brassy, but to me that's just the ukulele's voice and its take on the C note. I just go with the flow and over time accept the tone as natural and somewhat inevitable.
Okay, now I'm starting to slip away from lucidity, so I better just let that paragraph stand as is.
