Baritone Ukulele Tuner
Tune a baritone ukulele to standard tuning DGBE with a free mic tuner that shows note, Hz and cents for every string.
Values use equal temperament with A4 fixed at 440 Hz. Play one open string at a time and match it against the tuner below.
TuneStand needs microphone access to detect pitch. Audio is analysed on your device and never uploaded.
The baritone ukulele is tuned D3, G3, B3, E4, the same notes as the top four strings of a guitar. Unlike soprano, concert and tenor ukuleles, it is not reentrant: the strings run low to high in the order you would expect.
How baritone tuning differs from standard ukulele
Baritone ukulele strings run D3 at 146.83 Hz, G3 at 196 Hz, B3 at 246.94 Hz and E4 at 329.63 Hz, climbing straight up in pitch from the fourth string to the first. That makes it a genuinely low-to-high tuning, unlike the reentrant GCEA used on smaller ukuleles.
Because the notes match the top four strings of a standard guitar, guitarists can carry chord shapes almost directly across to a baritone uke. If you are used to a soprano or concert ukulele, expect a noticeably deeper, mellower sound from the larger body and lower tuning.
Frequently asked questions
What is baritone ukulele tuning?
D3, G3, B3, E4 from the fourth string to the first, the same notes as the top four strings of a standard guitar in standard tuning.
Is baritone ukulele tuning reentrant like a standard uke?
No. Baritone tuning runs low to high in normal order, D3 up to E4, unlike the reentrant GCEA tuning used on soprano, concert and tenor ukuleles.

Yes, largely. Because the four strings match the top four strings of a guitar note for note, many open chord shapes transfer directly.
