But if you want a quick refresher here are the main points:
– The machete is the Madeiran forerunner of the ukulele.
– It’s tuned D, G, B, D and octave higher than the baritone with the E string tuned down a tone.

Ranz de Vaches Machete 1 (Tab)
Ranz de Vaches Machete 2 (Tab)
On Ukulele
Both parts transfer very well to ukulele. Together they sound like this:
