Been googling uke stuff and came across this six stringed instrument. Its described as ukulele sized but with 6 strings tuned liked classical guitar with a capo on the 4th fret. That is its tuned a 4th up,ADGCEA. Now I have upstairs a small guitar with nylon strings originally bought for the kids, but they dont play it. So....

I've got a Yamaha guitalele. It's a fun halfway house between uke and guitar and was cheap enough for me not to worry about whether or not I'd use it often. I keep it at the side of the sofa for noodling purposes, and it's small enough that I can play it whilst still having the lap top on my knees. It'll never be my main instrument, but it has its uses. Would you be able to tune your small guitar to the same tuning?

I mean its not a great sounding guitar, just a kid's Palma 1/4 classical and it desperately needs new strings. But I got it there. It feels much tighter now!

Only thing is what do you call ADGCEA tuning? Just guitalele tuning?
