I have an extra concert ukulele that I have strung like a tenor guitar (CGDA) with hopes to learn more about the fingerings of fifths tuning. I printed out a bunch of tabs and chord sheets but am too busy with "regular" guitars and ukes to really dig in and memorize things. One reason may be that the tiny concert body is not supportive enough of the low C and G strings and maybe with a guitar or baritone uke I'd be more inspired. So I will see if I keep it as is , convert back to regular uke, or offer the instrument for sale.
Also, I spent last week at a music camp with Marcy Marxer and Cathy Fink as instructors. Marcy played a wicked Cello Banjo which I think is also tuned like a tenor guitar but one octave lower.
