I recentlY decided I would like a anther reso cb uke and then changed my mind and decided on a 22"cbg.A friend of mine cut and shape the neck for me and another guy of the nation offered to put it together for me,who I can't thank enough.I recently ordered a resso cone set from chicken bone john and on reciept of this my son talked me in to giving it to him for a prodject he's doing,so I have had to order another one now I am thinking I have done most of my learning from blues finger picking vids with a uke on you tube my question is can I tune my 22" scale length to ukulele tuning GCEA dummy Mal (Hull)

Hay Mal, I just made a 22" SL uke about a month ago (I only play uke and that very bad). I saw on an internet video how to tune a Baritone uke to GCEA, so I used the 1st four strings from a classic guitar set (3 nylon & 1 wound). Installed them in the order as instructed on the video, from top to bottom: 4D, 2B, 1E, 3A, and tuned it up to the correct guitar notes to let them settle in. I then tuned the now 4D up to G, the 3B up to C and kept the 2E and 1A the same. This way of tuning, instead of the 4G being high like on a regular uke, the 1A is low. This makes it sound a little less like a uke and a little more like a guitar. I put a piezo in it and it sounds great. I am going to play it at our 1st every Sacramento CBG Get-to-Gether this Sunday. Good luck with it!
