@@glorisyoung9696 No, not like a violin which is tuned in 5ths. In this instrument, each string is tuned to a note of the scale, similar to a piano. I'd have to watch more closely to see if this one is tuned to a chromatic scale (the white & black notes on piano), or a diatonic scale (just the white notes). I know that this song can be played in a diatonic scale. But she also could be tuning the strings to match a tune (music boxes are like that, just the notes needed for the song).

OMG! I had a Ukelin from 1967 till 2018 (when I downsized and moved.) When I was in high school, my music teacher gave me one he found in his attic in Connecticut. I never learned to play it - I was afraid that tuning the strings might break it, so I hung it on my wall as a decoration. It had the little wire music rack, and was in a dusty cardboard box.
@deedeetibbits 7 ай бұрын
That’s crazy! My first one was given to me by someone who had JUST cleaned out their Grandma’s attic! I had NO idea how to play it, but the note letters were under the strings, so I tuned it and fell in love with the violin sound, and the two-handed challenge!
