I play clawhammer on a banjo and want to give the ukulele a try. I have a tenor ukulele. I'd like to know how ukuleles are tuned to play clawhammer, and what kind of strings to use.
My thought is that I might like to tune it like string 1,2,3,5 of the banjo, or string 1,2,3,4 of the banjo with the fourth an octave higher. It might or might not be in the key of the banjo, but that is OK. I usually play the banjo in open G (gDGBD), but could just as easily tune to open C.
