- I had some time, and I was having camera issues (as you will see). This is "Sawmill tuning" also called "Cross tuning" EAEA. It originated from Scotch-Irish folk music towards the fiddle (Violin) as well as the 4 and 5 string banjo. This info has not been posted before and I researched the history of this tuning a lot.

I really like this tuning sounds quite Bright but I don't use a baritone uke since I play guitar as well as uke. I keep my two ukuleles tuned in standard tuning and one in low g and one in high g.. So I would not be able to test this tuning then with my ukuleles? Hmm I do have a guitalele can I use that to test this tuning?
Hi.. Thanks for your comment. I hope you are having a great new year so far.
Time mark 3:18 in the video, I say that I have a regular ukulele string set on that baritone ukulele. So you can use your Tenor / Concert or Soprano ukulele that has a regular string set and on it or "low g" . You can use the same tuning: E-A-E-A, it will sound better with a normal string set, but you can use it on the low g as well.
If you were using a baritone ukulele that had a standard baritone ukulele tuning of D-G-B-E, you could would tune it to: C-F-C-F
Love that tuning Tom, I’ll have to try it 😎👊
Hi Mike! Thanks for your comment. Yes, it's a great alternative tuning and like I said in the video.. It's not known on the ukulele at all... but it is from that fiddle/violin/banjo tuning for old timey Scotch-Irish folk music. I have seen some references for Sawmill tuning / Cross tuning for guitar as well... have to try that at some point. Have a great holiday season and upcoming new year, all the best to you and yours!
