HOW TO ~ tune a ukulele like a mandolin or mandola, using NORMAL STRINGS ~ ukelele tutorial

You can buy uke strings with mandolin or mandola tuning, but why not try it with the strings that you already have? Another good reason why you need more ukuleles :-) ~ If you want the 'official' strings though: look for 'fifth tuning' by Aquila Strings: mandolin/violin tuning for soprano, or mandola/viola tuning for concert (and probably also tenor) ukes.
* About me: I'm a musician and music teacher from The Netherlands. This is my first youtube tutorial, so let me know what you think! :-)

* By the way, those Makala Sharks (or Dolphins) are no toys, although they look like toys. They're actualy very nice, sturdy and cheap starters ukes.
* The concert model is another cheap extra uke I have; perfect for these alternate tuning experiments.
