Bass ukuleles are tuned similarly to the bass guitar and double bass : E 1 –A 1 –D 2 –G 2 for U-Bass style instruments (sometimes called contrabass), or an octave higher, E 2 –A 2 –D 3 –G ...
The standard ukulele tuning (gCEA) is the most common option, with a small minority using open tunings. Most resonator ukuleles are strung with nylon, nylgut and fluorocarbon strings, although a minority of luthiers build reso-ukuleles designed to be used with steel strings.
