aside from the sound, which one is the most comfortable to play? in terms of box size, neck length, finger spacing etc. if you were to play one for hours which one would be more comfortable?

@wschield608 4 күн бұрын

That’s a tough one. Although there is a difference both are comfortable. If you have very large hands or played the guitar for years the baritone may be easier but for me, I prefer the comfort of holding and playing the tenor. But like I said, that’s a tough one because there’s no wrong answer. Wes

Good for you! For me, there is nothing more calming than paddling in the wilderness! I was searching YT for replacement strings for my "new to me" Mainland and came upon your channel. For a 6 month ukulele newbie, thank you for ideas and calming inspiration!

@@wschield608 For many of us that paddle in the Adirondack Mountains of NY, we use pack canoes with a double bladed paddle...an 84 yo friend bought a new one last year! Never too old to upgrade your paddling adventures...thankfully a ukulele or changing your strings is much less expensive! Have a wonderful holiday!

Well I can honestly say I've scrapped dozens of videos for production I didn't care for or my camera work (cat walking through the shot) or sound (mix) I wasn't happy with, glad to see you had fun with this one p.s I love Cats In The Cradle.

Surprisingly, you don't mention what size the uke is. Or did I miss it?

@wschield608 Ай бұрын

If I didn’t state it in the video I apologize, it is a tenor. Rather than waiting until rewatching it I added this information in the description. Thanks for letting me know. Wes

beautiful tone, thanks for sharing. When I was young I played guitar informally, but for hours most days. someone made off with my guitar when I was 26... I was dead broke and busy, so it didn't get replaced. Now I'm old I'd love to have one again, but thought maybe a uke might be a better place to start. When I learned Alvarez makes a 6 string baritone and that the tuning is the same as a guitar, I was sold - in theory. But music is emotion, not logic, and until I heard this I wasn't sure... this one sounds beautiful. Thanks for posting this, it was really helpful.

You’re most welcome and I’m glad it helped. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on a baritone ukulele. Many years ago, before my accident, I played an Alvarez 12 string and absolutely loved the sound so I decided to give this one a try and I’ve never looked back. Thanks for both watching and your comment. Wes

Hello. What is the thumb pick you are using?

@wschield608 4 ай бұрын

It’s called a Bumblebee pick. It adjusts side to side and in and out. I have three of them. I’ve never had one wear out or break. I truly love them. They have almost doubled in price since I bought my first one but I’ll never use anything else. Here’s a link on Amazon.

Very nice!! Are you playing low G ?

@wschield608 5 ай бұрын

Thank you, Henri. Yes, I play a low G almost exclusively. When I order new strings I’ll always order them with a low G. If I’m adding a low G to a set of strings already on my ukulele I generally use Pepe Romero low squeak string. Thanks for the comment, Wes
