It's that time of year again where everyone channels the inner bass-demon inside themselves and looks at purchasing a Baritone Ukulele. Of the 5 staff at Southern Ukulele Store, 3 of us consider ourselves primarily Baritone ukulele players so we definitely have a soft spot for the bigger Uke of non Hawaiian origin (the Baritone came to promincence on the East coast of the US in the 1950's).

Baritone uke players are increasing, many people start and learn on gcea then hear the mellow tones of the baritone uke and fall in love with it. Im leading a baritone revival and in a few short years, my baritone army of friends will taken over the world NARF!😂

I love my baritones. When I want a low mellow relaxing tone I go for one of them. Other times I want the peppy bright sound of my concerts or tenors. And when I just want to make people think what is wrong with you, I grab the banjolele. To me, you can't go wrong with a ukulele in your hands no matter what size it is.

Very informative and entertaining video. I am a beginner baritone player thinking about a second ukulele. You’ve given me a lot to consider but frankly I think I’d be happy with any of them.

Great video. I thought after the magnificent Kanile’a it would be hard to get excited about any of the others, but I was very wrong. The Kiwaya jumped out at me - such a strong sound especially for the price, but not only because of the price. Very tempting. The Uluru sounded quite striking too (and another tempting one if I upgrade my current baritone), and the Ohana custom was of course absolutely sublime.

Baritone is now my main instrument. Will be upgrading from my pono.

Love this video. As you know I’m looking to upgrade my starter baritone. I’m all for the Revelator. Do you know what tone woods are coming on the next batch? Would like something other than koa. Thanks!

I just bought the Kala Contour Spruce a week ago and find it difficult to put down honestly. I wish the fret scale was more like a tenor, but that's why they have super tenors. :) I was going to puchase the Flight Maia. But with the Kala, I'm not sure. @southernukulelestore, would you recommend the steel string over the nylon strings for regular play? As in, not in front of everyone. I don't want my fingers to start hurting either. Thoughts?

@SouthernUkuleleStore 22 күн бұрын

I'd stick to nylon.

Is high D a common tuning for baritone? As in high D GBE? I've tried playing low G on my tenor but the re-entrant tuning is what made me want to play the instrument in the first place so I switched back. Plus I don't like the idea that I've spent so many years learning to play high g cords on my tenor and now as I understand it if I want to switch to baritone the cords are all different. Like I know to play a C cord I put one finger on the A string on the 3rd fret - but I think that all changes with a baritone so it doesn't sound like it's an easy switch to make, not like going from a soprano to a concert, for example

It isn't common but it does happen. There are strings readily available for it and it sounds cool!

Switching to a baritone is not as difficult as you might think. While the chord names will change, you will still use all of the same chord shapes. In my opinion, learning the chord shapes was more difficult to get down than switching between a tenor and a baritone. Either way, happy playing, the ukulele always puts a smile on my face.
