With only a single bass string, would it be more correct to call it a Theorbo-Kulele?
Traditionally the ukulele has re-entrant tuning (g'c'e'a'), so that the 3rd course is actually the lowest, rather like a cittern. Many modern players tune the 4th course down an octave, to give a richer tone. So maybe a cit-kulele?
