Ukulele tuning: Standard — G C E A (re-entrant)
Standard soprano, concert and tenor ukuleles use g C E A — note the high re-entrant G, which sits above the C rather than below it. That bright top string is what gives the uke its signature sound.
G4C4E4A4

How to tune a ukulele
- Allow mic access and play the top g string (closest to your face).
- Match g4, then C4, E4 and A4.
- If your uke has a low-G string, tune it to G3 instead.
