I know there are 100's of ukulele sites supporting GCEA tuning. Here I try to give voice to non-GCEA. Not that I am against it, but only that prefer a different sound to be supported.HumbleUkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01856459353622319763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7896210443010072726.post-1354683367108314852014-03-11T14:11:33.914-07:002014-03-11T14:11:33.914-07:00You are being a bit radical here but I like it.You are being a bit radical here but I like it.Sonsdadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17429650022652179027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7896210443010072726.post-75582790862405092592014-01-12T09:57:23.156-08:002014-01-12T09:57:23.156-08:00F.Y.I.

Anything that you play in the Key of C becomes Key of G, A become E, G becomes D, etc. Of course if you want the Campanella Sound you need a HIGH D. But if you are a strummer you should be fine.HumbleUkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01856459353622319763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7896210443010072726.post-55270162549937260802011-12-17T13:53:06.641-08:002011-12-17T13:53:06.641-08:00@ JDB -- Thanks for speaking out about the Worth S...@ JDB -- Thanks for speaking out about the Worth Strings.

I have them on my Favilla baritone and it is my main player. My friend Chris follows more of the Bueno Chen idea of mixing strings and has an Ohana bari and a new solid Eleuke bari strung this way and I really like their sound too.

They seemed so heavy compared to the smaller ukuleles. I have found from reading your posts that there are string options that make the baritone easier to play. I liked Bueno Chen's instructions and also find the all nylon Worth medium brown strings make my baritone sound rich and warm without excessive string vibration. TeddyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
