Re: How to string Baritone Uke in GDAE
I've been messing around with ukuleles for a while now, tuning all sizes of them (except baritone, don't own one) GDAE and CGDA. With selective string choices, they come out well. Interestingly the smaller the ukulele (five sizes, baritone the largest) the better CGDA sounds instead of GDAE. The smaller the resinator, the sqeakier the E in GDAE seems to sound (to me anyway).
This thread has convinced me to get an inexpensive Baritone and give it a shot. If it comes out to work as a "parlor sized" tenor guitar, that's great. My tenor ukuleles (second largest sized ukulele)( one is amp'd) sound fine at CGDA and I use them as mini tenor guitars.
Thanks for the string formula!

The inventory is always in some flux, but that's part of the fun.
