The largest of the ukuleles, the baritone is close to the guitar with its common tuning ?D?G?B?E.? It appeals to guitarists looking to find their bearings on a compact instrument, and to ukulele players seeking a deeper and fuller register. This model focuses on classic tonewoods and careful craftsmanship for a rich and modern sonic identity.
Ideal for motivated beginners as well as intermediate players, it suits vocal accompaniment, folk, and pop as well as picking, fingerstyle, light jazz, or bossa nova. Its baritone scale facilitates the transition from guitar and offers excellent intonation across the entire neck.
The A+ Sitka Spruce soundboard brings clarity, responsiveness, and projection. Paired with black walnut for the back and sides, it delivers a balanced signature: warm lows, present mids, and fine highs, with good note sustain.
The mahogany neck contributes to roundness and stability, while the rosewood fingerboard and bridge promote a soft attack and definition. The bone nut enhances vibration transmission and sustain. Aquila Nylgut strings complete the set with a precise and singing ?nylon? feel.
To protect and maintain your instrument, choose a baritone ukulele-specific gig bag or case, a clip-on chromatic tuner, a replacement set of Aquila Nylgut strings for baritone ukulele, and a case humidifier suitable for acoustic instruments. If the instrument does not have a strap button, opt for a headstock attachment ukulele strap, compatible without drilling.
