Yep, DGBE is a baritone uke, don't know why I wrote tenor other than I had tenor on the mind. :)

 

Thanks for catching that.

I make my 'tenors' with a 600mm (23 5/16) scale, i use the high four strings from a regular guitar set, and I tune EADG - an octave above the bottom of the guitar or two octaves above a bass. (this would be called a contra piccolo bass in orchestral circles, altho the name is certainly an oxymoron)

as the guys say, some tune em DGBE,(this is actually a bari uke btw) but this seems kind of pointless to me, because anything there could be played on the high four strings on a regular guitar.  My one gives me a nice logical extra register of familiar guitar positions etc.  Theyre great for jammin with a regular gitt.

 

there are at least three tenors (tins mostly) in my pics here, and one in a video called tim tam lullaby, check em out..

You said it, brother. Mine does just fine with stringed instruments but always sings along WAY too loudly with my trumpet playing.
