Do Ukuleles Sound Better Tuned Down? @DanKeenMusic

Uploaded February 2020 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago

This is the third in a series of new submissions called Thrumming Textures, featuring my Mahalo ukulele. Typically, I don’t tend to like the sound of ukuleles - I think it has something to do with the range - but I appreciate their usefulness as textural, rhythmical layers. I therefore decided it could be fun to experiment with tuning down.
