Excellent. I wonder how it's tuned - doesn't sound like it's tuned
like a Uke.

Did you notice that his index finger is double jointed? That's how he
got some of those odd chordings.

Sounds standard tuned to me, I believe it's just that his incredible
ability makes it sound entirely different. But if you pick out when he
does partial chords, you'll hear the familiar uke sound.
