I'm guessing this isn't the first time this issue has been raised.... but if
she's using say,
mandolin tuning... is she not simply strumming a mandolin with nylon strings?
I'm not
saying I'm a uke purist by any stretch but you'll have to agree that even "the
Jake" would have
trouble doing a lot of his stuff on a uke that was tuned to the traditional
GCEA. And I know
mandolin players that would eat Jake's lunch.
I'll be burning in Uke hell for this one I think.
