    In the United States, soprano and concert ukes are usually tuned in the chord of C6
    In the past, it was not uncommon for the soprano to be tuned a whole step higher in the chord of D6
    The baritone ukulele, which was not invented or developed until the 1940s at the request of Arthur Godfrey, is usually tuned in G
    The tenor ukulele can be tuned either way, and in C tuning is sometimes tuned with the G-string an octave lower, so it is pitched below the C-string, where you might expect it.
