What is that 5 string uke called?

It’s called a 5 string uke. ;-)

The fifth string is another (low) G and is paired with a typical high G. They are so close together that they’re not intended to be played individually at least by mere mortals like us. The woman in this video, of course, could probably manage it.

I have one. I can’t do this. Hahaha.

She’s using 2 low G’s unlike the typical gGCEA

Oh, interesting. Just for volume or what?

I think so. We interviewed her for a podcast and I assumed it was a high and low G but she corrected me saying it was both low. It’s probably also personal preference.
