written and played by Kit Duncan on Duncan & Son dulcitar

Huck Finn Serenade

This is my second effort at distorting a raw file into ambient music - in this case, I stretched a song I played on one of my Dolphin ukes.

Kit Dolphin Uke B Flat Ambient

Alternative tuning on a $35 unbranded uke and played like a dulcitar.  G is same pitch on 1st and 4th strings.  From 4th string drop down to D, then one note down for C, and jump back up for G.  Ignore the following frets: 1, 3, 6, 8, 10, 13, 15, 18, 20.

You can play chords, but you don't have to.  This song is played with only one finger on one note at a time and picking the strings semi-randomly.  Makes a great tracking - for example, it sounds great as a backdrop against Shenadoah played on a harmonica in key of C.
