A variation that's becoming more popular is to use a thicker string for the G and tune that note an octave lower: g, C, E, A. This is called sequential or linear C tuning. Some call it low G tuning, though that name can be confused with the standard baritone uke tuning.

The tuning used most worldwide is re-entrant C tuning, or C6 tuning: G, C, E, A. This is commonly referred to as the traditional My dog has fleas tuning, and has been known to Empire customers for decades as High A tuning.

In the Canadian school system, the tuning with a low 4th string is used: a, D, F#, B. This is known as D6 tuning, or sequential D tuning, and Empire customers have known it for decades as Low A tuning.

Note: Please specify tuning required in the remarks column on the check out page. If no tuning is requested, your ukuleles will be supplied with sequential A,D,F#,B tuning.
