Most ukes have reentrant tuning--the g (what we think of as the low string on a bass) is tuned to a higher pitch than what you'd think of as the second-lowest string, the C. And then the next two strings (E and A) are higher pitched as you'd expect. So it's gCEA.
You can also string a uke with a low G string so that each string from bottom to top get progressively higher, GCEA. But you need a "low G" set of strings, and the low G is typically wound while the other three are regular nylon. This is how my tenor uke is strung.
I'm trying to tune a ukulele for my niece but the string gauges don't make sense; it's not a Bass so the gauges are obviously different, and I'm not sure if the strings go from the lightest on the top to the heaviest on the bottom like a Bass, so, I was hoping I can get some help if anyone has any experience with a ukulele, Thanks Bass Bros.
