About Baritone Ukulele Tuning (DGBE)
Use this baritone ukulele tuner online with microphone for D-G-B-E tuning, the same four note names as the highest four strings of a guitar. That makes it feel familiar for guitar players while still keeping the softer, smaller-body sound of a baritone uke.
From lowest to highest, the baritone ukulele tuning notes are D3, G3, B3, and E4. Unlike standard soprano, concert, and tenor ukulele tuning, baritone tuning is usually linear, so each string gets higher as you move from the 4th string to the 1st string.
Use this baritone ukulele tuner online as a DGBE note check with your microphone: 4th string D3, 3rd string G3, 2nd string B3, and 1st string E4.
This tuning is common for baritone ukulele lessons, chord charts, and singer-songwriter arrangements. If you already know guitar chord shapes on the top four strings, many of those shapes transfer directly to baritone ukulele.
