Hi All – I went with Summertime Swing this month. Wow, I have never played that far up the fretboard before! I have a couple of cutaway ukes – when I bought them, I just thought they looked cool – but they do help you reach those pesky high # frets for sure! I experimented playing this on all my instruments, including concert (ugh too small). I was leaning toward recording it on my baritone as it just felt more comfortable (bigger fret spaces? less tension on the strings-easier to fret?). But in the end, I recorded on tenor high G. Those high frets are so small I had to concentrate to keep my fingers (usually) landing in the right spots.
