I'm not convinced it's a tenor uke. Even though this is a British ukulele, the body reminds me of the old Johnny Marvin ukes made by Harmony, which were concert size.

Your thoughts?

Yah, it looks like one of those british long neck hybrids, really...

but it IS a figure eight, notwithstanding the dubious size...

It's really nice: the video, the song, the uke... but not the girl...

He's in D tuning, playinf G chords putting him in the key of A. Anyone figure out the bridge progression?
