Hey Alex, you actually inspired me to try the baritone after listening to your new album. I love the folk sound to it. It’s very different to the usual ukulele stuff that gets put out there. Great album! I purchased a cheap Makala baritone for now. I normally play a low G tenor. Maybe it’s the guitar player in me, but right away I can tell the baritone will become my ukulele of choice. I love the sound!

I always look forward to your videos, they go great with my morning coffee! I don’t have a baritone - yet - but maybe in the future.

Good job Bruddah you make it sound so good

For me, I'll take the Millar . . . thanks for the review!

Thank you this, Alex.

Ahhh so lovely to listen to, I agree Kanile'a baritones sound the best imo.

Great to see the baritones, nice selection! Looks to be another early hour presentation....? Hoping your new location is working out well for you! Always looking foward to your next post! Cheers!

Great Video! Thanks Alex! When you started to play your songs, I immediately waited for you start singing 😁

Thanks for the selection. That Millar would make one hell of a blues baritone! The Kamaka which seems to open up a whole new sound. And the Kanile’a is an object of beauty, as so often is the case for the brand.

Thank you Alex!

I could listen to you play all day on the baritone

I watched your unboxing video of the Snail S60B some time ago and you sold me on it. I love that it’s abit out there with the big rosette and red binding and amber buttons. But it sounds lovely too. It has depth and brightness and I find it’s a good all round instrument that’s stand out in looks.

I really wanted to see the Pono steel strings again. Drool.

Hey Alex. This was an interesting comparison. In the first half I was thinking that each model a $ up was better than the cheaper ones. But the Pono, Millar and Snail stopped me short. I don’t like baritones that sound like or much like a guitar. They seemed to be a better representation of a ukulele. By appearance of tge three the Millar was my choice but the Kanilea really hit home in that regard. Thanks as always for a good and reasoned review.

Hi Alex, great video as always. I started off with playing a Tenor Ukulele at the beginning of this year, after struggling with trying to learn the acoustic guitar. I played the tenor for a few months, but I was not really digging the sound of the ukulele as it was too twangy and high pitched. I am also not a fan of reentrant tuning. When I discovered the Baritone uke back in August of this year, I found my sound, and the perfect musical instrument for me. I am exclusively a baritone uke player now and practice and play for about 3 or 4 hours a day. I own 3 of them, and all of them are Kala's. My first and main one is the SCAC-B solid cedar top acacia back and sides, my new one that is one week old is the BG all glossy mahogany laminate, and today I am waiting for my CM-BE Curly Mango with EQ and pickup to be delivered later today. The only other baritone uke I plan on getting in the near future is an 8-string version.

Thanks for the reviews! Just getting into Baritone and my entry level baritone does feel a bit cramped for my hands. Is there any other recommendations for users with bigger hands?

Never realised Ukulele had such a beautiful tone. In Bournemouth Absolute Music department music store a Ukulele shop has just opened. I went in there had a look around and left thinking Ukulele sounded high pitched and screechy sound, never tried a single one. I wish I had. I would have purchased one instead of a guitar.

Hey Alex, can you list a couple of the 23 inch scale baritones?

Just looks weird watching you play left handed in a right handed ukulele. It sounds great though.

What do you think of Kala baritones?

Cocobolo Ukulele don't seem to offer a baritone.

None with a soundport on the side. I'll have to keep looking ...

I don't know why you would use round-wound D and G strings, which squeak when the fingers slide on them. I hate the squeaks. I put flat-wound classical guitar strings on my baritone, which don't squeak. The brand is Thomastik-Infeld in 0.030" diameter and 0.035" diameter. They cost a bit more than round-wound strings, but they are so much more satisfying that the cost is irrelevant. Guitars and baritone ukes come with round-wound bass strings, which I can understand in cheap instruments, but for high-end instruments, they should come with flat-wound strings.

You play this Baritone very nicely, but you are playing it upside down. Why? I'm glad you didn't switch the strings as well. If you did that you'd be really handicapped. But I'm curious why do you play it upside down? I assume you are left handed. OK, so then you have better dexterity in your left hand. Why would you not want to fret with your better hand? It is a mystery to me. Explain thy self.
