Yeah, I have to own up to this.

Standard baritone uke, at least I think it is, the one tuned like a guitar,
E B G D

It is a cheap one, not a great sound . Not a good instrument so it is not
fun to play, but I had some of the morlaye books and wanted to try them
without having to get the real thing.

I never thought about trying it with re-entrant tuning. It has tuning pegs
(4 only of course). Actually still has the original strings on.

I wouldn't necessarily recommend it unless you get a decent sounding,
playable instrument.

OK...I can't believe I'm asking this - it's for someone else, believe me...

Does anyone play the 4-course guitar repertoire on a ukelele? If so, what
tuning, and what octave for the fourth course?
Are double-course ukes available?
Gut strings?

Go on Bill...enjoy yourself!
