What is a low G Ukulele? Informative video on the differences between a standard and low G Ukulele. Explaining that there are two common ukulele tunings - standard tuning and low G tuning. Here's a breakdown of the differences:
Standard Tuning (gCEA): also called entrant tuning
G string tuned to G4
C string tuned to C4
E string tuned to E4
A string tuned to A4
This is the most common ukulele tuning. It provides a bright, cheerful sound. The highest pitched string is the A string.
Low G Tuning (gCGE):
G string tuned down to G3 instead of G4
C string tuned to C4
G string tuned to E4
A string tuned to A4
In low G tuning, the G string is tuned down a full octave lower than standard tuning. This gives the ukulele a deeper, richer tone. The lowest pitched string is now the G string instead of the A string.
