Did I tune my #ukulele to #openF and compose a jolly though bluesy tune? Did I?

Back cover of Anthology of Alternate Ukulele Tunings, by Choan Gálvez.

Introductory text says:

Retuning a couple of strings—or even just one— helps performers discover new sonic worlds, makes some elusive voicings possible, and, in general, stimulates inspiration.

In this collection of 12 original pieces, Choan Gélvez proposes you to work on up to seven alternate ukulele tunings, all of them feasible using a standard low G string set. Your instrument won’t be at risk as all of the suggested tunings decrease the total string tension.

The author offers descriptions and diagrams of each tuning, and a few chord boxes in case you’d like to explore the variant further than the included pieces do. Every score is presented in notation and tablature. This is a wonderful and very well thought out collection of pieces in alternate tunings.

After this, we find a blur signed by Matt Stead:

Choan has included some really interesting tunings such as Gsus4, which you don’t come across often. You'll also find some traditional Hawaiian tunings such as taro patch and wahine.

Everything is very clearly notated and these brilliant compositions are an absolute delight to play.
