What is it?

[cestpaspossible]

A friend just gave me an instrument, guitar shaped, four string, 19 1/2 from bridge to nut. To me that seems too small for a tenor guitar, too big for a ukelele... what is it?

1. A baritone ukulele?

Never had occasion to play a uke of any kind, but I have heard about these since I was a kid.

2. Fretted like a uke. Looks like a uke. I'd say Baritone uke

Try tuning it like the 4 highest strings of a guitar, D, G, B, E.

The major difference, however, is that what should be the lowest string, "D", is to be tuned an octave higher. So, rather than having the 3rd string a 4th higher than the 4th string, the 3rd string is a 5th lower than the 4th.
