I am in South Africa with my girlfriend. We have been traveling around the world for 5 months and have another few moths left. We are thinking to take the next two months, buy / rent a truck and drive up from south africa, through Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and then to Tanzania.
The Standard C tuning (sometimes referred to as Re-entrant tuning) is the most common ukulele tuning for soprano, concert and tenor ukes.
In guitar music, middle C (first ledger line below the staff) is the third fret of the A string. In real life, middle C on the guitar is on the first fret of the B string. The reason for this is so that guitar music can be written on a single staff instead of two (like piano music). A lot of instruments have similar issues. All Bb instruments are written a note higher than concert pitch.
