I just got back from a trip to my home island in the pacific. While I've played the uke for a long time with the standard G-C-E-A tuning, everyone on the island played the same major chords of C, F and G, but the uke was tuned such that the fingering of those three major chords was: X-X-X-1 2-1-X-X X-1-2-1 Does anyone know how to tune my uke in order to be in line with this fingering?? I just found it a lot more comfortable, and reminds me of home. Thanks in advance, Matt

( I think you meant to indicate open strings with the X marks - it's more conventional to indicate open strings with the "O" and unplayed strings with the X) The high string would have to be tuned higher to B in order to get a C chord with 0001. However, if the uke is tuned GCEB to get the C chord for your first diagram, you cannot get an F chord with 2100, nor a G chord with 0121 (that's the standard G chord in GCEA tuning). The best thing to do is try to contact your friends and ask them specifically how their instruments were tuned, then figure out the fingering of the chords from there.
