For the concert and tenor ukuleles, both reentrant and linear C 6 tunings are standard; linear tuning in particular is widely used for the tenor ukulele, more so than for the soprano and concert instruments. The baritone ukulele usually uses linear G 6 tuning: D 3 –G 3 –B 3 –E 4, the same as the highest four strings of a standard 6-string ...
This gives it tuning of ADGCEA, with the top four strings tuned like a low G ukulele. [6] This is the same as the tuning of the requinto guitar, although the latter are typically larger than a guitalele, and as the most common tuning for the guitarrón mexicano, albeit at a higher octave.
A variety of tunings are used for the four string tenor guitar, including a relatively small number of re-entrant tunings. One example of a re-entrant tuning for tenor guitar is D 4 –G 3 –B 3 –E 4 with strings 3–1 as for the normal 6-string guitar, but string 4 tuned to D an octave above the 4th string of the 6 string guitar.
It is similar in shape and tuning to the ukulele, but their character and playing technique are vastly different. It is tuned in a similar fashion to the traditional D tuning of the ukulele, but the A and B are an octave lower. Consequently, the same fingering can be used to shape the chords, but it produces a different inversion of each chord. [1]
Also common are tuning one octave below standard violin tuning, G 2 −D 3 −A 3 −E 4, which is typical of the tenor banjo in Irish folk music or "octave mandolin," and the so-called "Chicago tuning", D 3 −G 3 −B 3 −E 4, the same as the top four strings of a standard guitar, or the "baritone ukulele," a slightly smaller instrument ...

Other tunings include: D A B E – Portuguese ancient tuning, made popular by Júlio Pereira, reentrant with A being the lowest pitch [4] G G B D [5] A A C ♯ E; D G B E – used for solo parts in Brazil; G D A E – mandolin tuning; G C E A – ‘cavacolele’ tuning, the same as the soprano/tenor ukulele [6]
The most common way to represent the string tunings of many instruments is by a chord with all strings open. For instruments with many closely tuned strings, this is impractical, and for those with reentrant tunings it is positively misleading, so an arpeggio style may be used instead, spreading the string tunings.
