It's probably a six string ukulele, it's tuned the same as a ukulele but with an extra string on the C and A strings, usually tuned an octave higher to give it a fuller sound, almost like a mandolin.
Can anyone figure out the chords he's using. I think it starts off with Emin, then Am, i don't know the next chord, then it sounds like Gmaj and 3 then 2 then open and it goes to either Gmaj or the unknown chord.
Anyone remember what the songs they played for their encore were? I remember Carousels, The Gulag Orkestar, and another song that was in a different language (a cover, perhaps?) that they closed the night with.
@tolkheleknar hhmmm i wasn't there (hell i live in california hahaha) but could it have been siki siki baba? I remember seeing them a few years ago and they had an encore with that song i believe.
Love the uke

What is the little instrument he is using? It kind of looks like an ukulele to me, but it has six chords.

@tolkheleknar I honestly can't remember. I ran out of room on my camcorder's memory card & had to stop taking video near the end.

@MscTch I also remember Elephant Gun. Maybe someone who got lucky enough to grab a setlist will see this.

@tolkheleknar the cover was 'O Leãozinho'. it's a track they recorded for the new red hot compilation. They also did a new piano track I believe.

@tolkheleknar It was probably Siki Siki Baba. They seem to cover that a lot for encores.
