There are a couple of different methods that can be used to tune a ukulele. Tuned to the same notes as the top strings of a guitar- D-G-B-E. Baritone Ukuleles, on the other hand, are more commonly tuned in linear tuning as standard. They tune the G string an octave lower to below the C and E strings. However, some people prefer to use linear tuning. The tenor ukulele is often tuned in re-entrant C Tuning. Some advanced players prefer this tuning as the tighter string tension gives a brighter, springier sound. Soprano ukuleles are also sometimes tuned to A-D-F#-B, known as ‘D Tuning’. Another way of demonstrating this is on a musical staff: Even if you don’t read music, you will see that the G is higher in pitch than the C and E. This is what contributes to the ukuleles distinctive sound. It serves to keep the notes of the chords in the same range. Instead, the G is tuned above the C and E strings. Unlike the guitar, the strings on soprano, concert and tenor ukuleles are not tuned from low to high. Soprano, concert and tenor ukuleles are most often tuned to G-C-E-A or ‘C Tuning’.
