There are literally hundreds of ways to tune a ukulele, but the most common ones are shown below. They are all based on the tuning of the four highest pitched strings of the guitar (in descending pitch order E, B, G & D, named "string 1 [high E]" to "string 4 [D]"), giving a kind of 2nd inversion Major 6th chord in the open position.
We found these tunings at http://www.curtsheller.com/ukuleleTunings.shtml#CommonUkuleleTunings.
C Tunings
C Tuning - For Soprano, Concert and Tenor ukulele. The same as the higher four strings of a standard tuned guitar with a capo at the fifth fret with string four "G" one octave higher.
Key of "C" Low 'G' Tuning - For Soprano, Concert and Tenor ukulele. Same as Key of "C" Tuning but with string four one octave lower. This is the same as placing a capo at the fifth fret of a standard tuned guitar.
Key "D" Tuning - For Soprano, Concert and Tenor ukulele. The same as the higher four strings of a standard tuned guitar with a capo at the seventh fret with string four "A" one octave higher.
Key "D" Tuning , Low 'A' Tuning - For Soprano, Concert and Tenor ukulele. The same as the higher four strings of a standard tuned guitar with a capo at the seventh fret.
Key of "G" Tuning - For Baritone and Tenor ukulele. The same as the higher four strings of a standard tuned guitar. So you already know how to play the Baritone and Tenor Ukulele.
String 4 (D) can also be tuned up one octave. A tuning that the great jazz ukulele player Lyle Ritz favors.
Stand dimensions: approx. 180cm high, 70cm diameter base
