Hey. Great--once again. I wonder what are the tunings on the two ukuleles?

[PipLagenta]

Billy Wilson tells me that he has his Risa electric tenor ukulele tuned "high to low E B G D" and that Steven tunes his electric soprano ukulele at "A E C G". I, personally, have no idea what any of that means.
