What are your thoughts of a baritone tuned GCEA with a low G? And would you ever do a video comparing this tuning with standard baritone?
Hi Terry. Yes I have Baritone ukes and I did change the strings to GCEA. One with low G and one with High G. The low G one seems to have a deeper, richer sound and turns heads in my ukulele group.
Sorry, am new to ukelele
As you mentioned, you replaced the gcea string. But it has only one g , so how did you tune high g and low g
What strings did you use? Thank you.
I have a baritone ukulele, and I keep it the normal DGBE tuning, but my reason is that I treat it like a reverse capo, and it allows me to sing in a more comfortable register. So I play the chord shapes of a traditional ukulele, but end up singing in a lower range. I don't play with others that way, but it works for me when I'm just playing and singing by myself.
Ive wondered about doing this.
Guess if you want it gcea...you just cap up 3 frets?
I achieve a drop with contra strings. My Kala baritone bamboo is GCEA an octave down.
Capo the 5th fret and you have a low G uke. I do it all the time.
ok thank you. I do not own a baritone and I keep wondering if this would work.
@ivan terrible I was just about to put in the same comment.
This is what I do, too!!
And just like that with this single comment you solved my problem! Thank you. Im buying baritone
Yeah you can. I have a Cordoba baritone tuned a tone down from low g: F - C# - D - G. I love the way it sounds.
bought the Lava strings from you and put on my baritone...awesome sound
from mini-guitar to maxi-uke!
Thanks for that , great help . I just like the thought of the bigger Uke
Wish you would have actually showed a baritone with tenor strings, & played the same song on a tenor & altered baritone to hear the difference.
Thank you for the info. But, it would have been much better if you actually showed that it would work well across the fret & hold the tuning. Hope you do a future video actually showing it will work instead of just saying it will work.
Hi. New subscriber. I'm going to do this today.
I was literally going to switch off and go to the bus and this popped up.
This video nailed it for me.
Thanks
A link going directly to the strings would have been awesome because I couldn’t find them. Sent you an email though, thanks in advance.
Yes I have a baritone thanks for information.
Good video. Sometimes you will find that a few baritone ukuleles actually come with the "high g" set of strings on them. In regards to the commercially licensed music that I write and record, I actually have two baritone ukuleles one with the standard low d and one with the high d string set. I also like using Aquila strings on both, especially the Aquila 23U Nylgut high g string set. The other thing that people can do, is put a capo on the 5th fret of a baritone ukulele that is in standard low d tuning... I've done that for years in the past. It can be a bit tricky to fret in first and second position after the capo
Thank you that was a great video, very informative. I have a baritone ukulele and I tuna dgbe but I like the sound better with a capo on the first or second fret.
Thanks!!!!!!!
Very cool Terry. Been thinking about super tenor but baritone tunes like tenor...🤠
Thanks so much...x love the Baritone
I just got a baritone and it's throwing me off. The guy said, same hand shapes, yeah, it all still works fine. And he got my money. But that isn't really true, it isn't the same. I am determined to learn though. So I subscribed. Hope y'all can help me!
It is the same hand shapes but the chords that are on those shapes are different
Try putting a capo on the fifth fret of baritone ukulele and play regular gcea ukulele chords. I do this on all my 6 strings guitars but have to ignore and can’t strum the E and A strings (6 and 5 strings). You wouldn’t have to ignore any strings on baritone uke. Rich Davis has a video on turning baritone uke to gcea with a capo.
I have an Ohana Baritone I keep it tuned dgbe. I have a tenor that I rarely play tuned gcea. I have found I LOVE my Bari more and more each day. But my Lil' Martin LX1 runs a close second. I find myself playing the Flight concert with the Low g if I'm playing the gcea voicing. Funny how we gravitate toward certain instruments.... I own more than the above mentioned.
Does it still sound like a baritone if tuned like a tenor as far as the richer sound. Can you post a comparison of 2 baritones... one standard timing and one tenor tuning?
I’m thinking I might need to order a baritone. I’m almost 5’10” , as a woman, my torso and arms are longer and convert and tenor uke seem to not have me left hand out long enough when playing so it gets uncomfortable for my wrist, neck and shoulders after a very short while.
I put tenor strings onto my baritone ukulele, didn't play it for years and was very very confused when I tried to tune it again in baritone😂
Aquila 11U New Nylgut Tenor Ukulele Strings (DGBE) How about these? Your thoughts appreciated as the Pepe Romero strings are very expensive.
can i keep the same strings if i tune my baritone with low G?
great video!!!🎉
Sure. I play a 5 string baritone tuned gGCEA
Can you just use a capo?
Pls give url to yr store
Could you put a link to those strings? I looked but I couldn't find them.... thanks. : )
I just like the size... That's what she said 😁
Went to the store did not see any Aquila Lava for Baritones with a low g. Are they available at your store anymore?
Are the strings that are sold high G or low G ?
Can you string with low g?
If I put those strings on the baritone, wouldn’t that eventually warp the neck?
Hi, I’ve been looking for a leather ukulele strap like you’re wearing in the video. Do you have those in your store?
Yes a link necessary. The reason i clicked was to learn what strings i need
I bought GCEA strings for my baritone ukulele but they’re so tight and uncomfortable. Why would that be? I bought the Aquila New Nylgut AQ-23 High G Baritone Ukulele Strings.
When I search for the Lava 117U, I only find a High G set. What G string is on yours?
Can you put regular tenor strings on a baritone or do you have to use those strings.
i think the length of the tenor string is not enough because baritone is a bit long
but im still wondering if you can tune the baritone without actually changing the strings
Would that play an octave lower? I.e., would the higher note on an open string be A3? Thanks!
How do I get the low d strings your using on here ?
Thanks great info
What about tuning a tenor (I.e. Grand tenor) like a baritone? love the sound of the baritone uke but done want the expense of having to buy another uke, plus I actually would like to learn new chords
ooh good question!
this is the same question i have
Hello. I saw your question here. You can tune your tenor to a baritone, you need to use "Aquila Baritone Ukulele strings low d", you can find those on Amazon. Aquila strings are great in general, but also the tension is a bit higher so it will work with tenor ukuleles. The other thing I can tell you and a lot of people don't know, that back in the very late 1940's was the inception of the baritone ukulele, around that same time tenor ukuleles were tuning the same a baritone ukuleles in that same low d tuning/string set.... probably because of the availability and also over all cost back then.
@@MrTom_Songwriter I actually bought the Ohana BK 70 which has a tenor body and baritone strings and have it tuned to baritone tuning, I love it and it sounds wonderful, one of my favorite ukes in my collection. I also have two tenors that I have tuned F#; B, D#, G# that I play with the normal GCEA chording
Great information 👍
I own an 8-String baritone ukulele and always struggle to find strings.
More interesting question: Can I tune a soprano ukulele like a baritone one (so I do not have to remember two different ways to grip the chords)? :p
I think i saw somewhere that ukulele strings don't fit on the soprano
Are the strings with a low ‘g’?
Or... You could just buy an Ohana Bari-Tenor(baritone body, Tenor neck).
Hey Terry, can you tune a tenor guitar with 4 strings like standard uke tuning? Am really interested in steel strings. If yes, which strings can Be used? Thx 🎸
Hey Jules, did you end up finding anything like that?
Ed Ross another online ukulele teacher likes playing a baritone tuned to gcea for playing jazz.
so why didn’t you… and then compare the tone between the two… shame
Tenot banjoukulele like a baritone?
I’d like to tune a baritone in 5ths.
Can I tune my tenor as a baritone? I did it and I like it.
Why can't you say Ukulele properly & you do know that the Ukulele is Portuguese & NOT Hawaiian?!
GAMECHANGER!!!
Oh my god so much talking just to say so little
COME ON AND GET TO THE POINT!
