By the way, my baritone uke has 14 frets to the body of the uke. A soprano uke has 12 frets to the body.

Hi. Ken,
Baritone Uke is tuned as DGBE but the D of the 4th string is 1 octave higher. GCEA is soprano Uke. like Capo 5 of a baritone uke. In Baritone uke D is the same fingering of d in guitar.

Hi. I'm from Philippines. As a kid I had a ukelele for a toy. Learned to play a few songs but when it got out of tune - gone was the uke. In high school I started playing the guitar. Never stopped for the mext 40 or so years. Recently I began toying with a ukelele, a fine instrument built and made here in the Philippines. It is a baritone uke and the fingering is similar (almost same as Guitar). I enjoy the uke on quiet nights when I sing and play for myself or for small groups and when no amplification is needed. Hope you people enjoy playing the uke as much as I do.
