[Dixielandjazz] While my ukulele gently weeps

[Bill Gunter]

Hi all,

A bit more on the Baritone Ukulele . . .

I mentioned earlier that it was tuned like a standard guitar. Some players, 
however, will tune the 4th string up an octave (giving it the traditional 
"My Dog Has Fleas" tuning). This give the baritone ukulele a "brighter" tone 
and may offer some advantages when picking melodies.

I think this is the tuning used by Jake Shimabukuru in the video clip.
