if one has a baritone uke tuned gcea, is the A at 440 like the soprano, or 220?
help, please, someone.
The baritone uke tuned gCEA is tuned exactly in the same octave as a soprano. The larger body of the baritone produces more lower frequencies, so the overall sound is much deeper than a soprano uke.
The 440 refers to the frequency "440 Hertz," which is a reference tuning standard for the musical note "A above middle C" on a piano. Most electronic tuners internally tune to that frequency; some fancier tuners allow you to vary the reference frequency in order to tune in harmony with other instruments that tune to a different reference standard. However, no tuner that I know of sets the standard frequency down to 220 Hz.
