Glad I found this Vic. Looking at tuning one if my Baritones GCEA with a low G. Getting Aquila Lava CGEA for Baritone. They only make them with High G. But I will use the G from my Baritone to create the low G, I want. Thanks.

Thanks. I’ve had a very nice tenor uke for nearly ten years but also have 15 guitars and totally get the tuning differences so starting to think about the baritone uke also.

I play my guitar in open D and would do the same on a baritone uke.

@hectoralvarado9359 5 жыл бұрын

A Venezuelan Cuatro is tuned to a,d,f#b I believe it is the same size as the baritone uke you have.

@deeman524 4 жыл бұрын

I like the baritone in it's regular tuning, because I also play guitar (electric). but I hate acoustic guitars, I like Ukes better

@e.miller8943 3 жыл бұрын

I just watched another vid about baritone tuning that seemed interesting. The instrument was tuned to octave GCEA. That way you can use the same chords as a smaller uke and can play along easier. I am going to try this with nylon guitar strings.

Sounds interesting.

I play mostly a baritone in DGBE, I do have a baritone in "cuatro" tuning. Low G and a low A...it's a great sound!

@thespeez 4 жыл бұрын

Can it be tuned and do people tune it like the 'lower four' on a Banjo (i.e.DGBD)?

@denisenadeau5243 11 күн бұрын

you are very talented I find that steel strings stay in tune better I think I "M going to buy a carbon plastic from out door ukes in a tenor they said the action is very good on these ukes I need help

@bobvanwest 2 жыл бұрын

I like the Baritone size, I also like the GCEA tuning for the Baritone. I have several Ukes mostly Tenor size, 4 string , 8 string. I'd like to hear what an 8 string Baritone with GCEA tuning sounds like.

@VicSchmeltz Жыл бұрын

I bet it would sound great.

@crewsforchrist762 4 жыл бұрын

I'm going to get a long neck Tenor and an 8 string tenor, these Ukes are slightly bigger instruments than the standard tenor, for me Baritone tuning belongs on a baritone and Tenor on a tenor

@brent__earl 6 жыл бұрын

So if it's tuned GCEA (like your cedar Kala), you play it the same as a regular ukulele, the chord name and shape is the same? But if it's DGBE then you would use guitar chords?

@PerpetualJoy 6 жыл бұрын

yeah DGBE its just like the bottom four strings of a regular guitar.

@Flint3162 5 жыл бұрын

The chords shapes are all the same, just with different names. Guitar D is uke G, A is D, G is C, C is F, etc

@Gibthing 4 жыл бұрын

When you tuned the baritone to gcea was it a) standard tuning to the same octave as a tenor b) low g same octave as a tenor c) reentrant gcea an octave lower or d) gcea low g an octave lower?

@riderk7007 3 жыл бұрын

It was low g same octave as tenor

Are you using the same gauge strings for the two different tunings?

@VicSchmeltz 3 жыл бұрын

No, different string sets.

@rodrodriguez460 3 жыл бұрын

@@VicSchmeltz Ah, that would make a difference when deciding on buying a baritone uke in A strings, instead of E. I'd have to go with the E setup uke. I truly appreciate your videos. Thanks!

@galilauren9563 4 жыл бұрын

do both ukulele have the same gauge strings?

@riderk7007 3 жыл бұрын

You would usually need different gauge strings for each of those tunings. The dgbe set would probably break if you tried to tune it all the way up to gcea.

@VicSchmeltz Жыл бұрын

No they don’t.

@autumnsilverwinds4990 4 жыл бұрын

Hang on a second, just so I can understand better. Are these two different TYPES of baritone ukuleles? Or can any baritone ukulele be TUNED either way? Buying my first one soon.

@greasy465 4 жыл бұрын

Any Baritone can be tuned to GCEA, Aquila makes a special set of strings for this purpose. You cannot re tune GCEA with standard baritone strings

@VicSchmeltz 3 жыл бұрын

You can tune a baritone either way as I did in the video.

You could depending on your strings and instrument.

@nataliestark8243 4 жыл бұрын

So, you basically turned your baritone into a larger tenor... it ceases to be a baritone sound.

Just for the video. My baritones are tuned DGBE.

You can absolutely play any instrument without knowing the key you're in so long as you have the ability to discern tones in your head. Don't hate on the musically illiterate musicians, we can very much play in key!
