5 AWESOME BARITONE UKULELES & 1 CRAZY ONE!

Hello! The baritone ukulele is growing in popularity and more of you want some good bari uku recommendations. In this video we will be looking at 5 (well, 6) baritone ukuleles. I was originally only going to feature 5 baritone ukuleles in this video, but there is one extra one that I wanted to add to this video because it's unique and fun.
5. Uma Baritone Ukulele (Model No. UBU-20S)
This ukulele has a spruce top and mahogany back and sides. This uku is surprisingly lightweight. It might be the lightest one out of the bunch.
4. Duke Baritone Ukulele (Model No. DUBVB)
This is a mahogany ukulele with a vintage look to it. If you like coordinating your instruments or want to build an ensemble, this ukulele comes in the exact same look/design in all sizes starting with soprano.

3. Lanikai Baritone Ukulele (Model No. SPST-B)
This ukulele has a spruce top and morado back & sides. This was my favorite favorite FAVORITE ukulele throughout 2019. I have several favorites now, but this one is still in my Top 5.
Amazon link: amzn.to/39OyfCG
2. Ohana Baritone Ukulele (Model No. BK-35GCE)
This is an acoustic electric ukulele with a cutaway. If you're a fan of the Cynthia Lin performance model ukulele, you'll like this one. This is like the big sister version of that ukulele. It's beautiful, sounds good, and can be plugged in.
BONUS: Ohana 8 String Baritone Ukulele (BK-70-8)
This is a ukulele that caught my eye because it has 8 strings!!! I love baritone ukuleles, so I was very excited about this ukulele. It is not difficult to press 8 strings, but it does take a bit more coordination in the beginning. If you're already a seasoned player, you can totally do it ;)
1. Ohana Baritone Ukulele (Model No. BK-70RB)
This might be the COOLEST baritone ukulele I have had the chance to play. I really liked the sleek round back and the sound of this instrument. Even though it is super slim, the rounded back in combination with the spruce top really project this ukulele's voice. This ukulele was just borrowed for the video, but I would not be surprised if it stayed with me a little longer :D
By the way...
The ukuleles I showed in this video are ukuleles that I think you would be happy with if you bought them :) This video is not sponsored. I showed more Ohana ukuleles because this is a company that has a much wider variety in baritone ukuleles than any other brand I have seen so far. I should add that Ortega Guitars and Flight make baritone ukuleles as well, but I don't have any of theirs to show you yet! I asked Enya ukuleles to make a baritone ukulele... I hope they will take the recommendation!

[@malcolmclark604]

Excellent review, no rambling and great sound test - very helpful - thank you

[@bennettwindheim6394]

SO-O-O happy the bari uke's getting some love. When I started a year ago, I opted for the baritone for its rich, near-guitar-like sound. After lots of research, settled on the Cordoba 21B. Love it! Added strap buttons and good to go. Thanks for shining the spotlight. Your videos are awesome, but pleeeeease more baritone instructionals!

[@josephhaverty1403]

I bought the Lanikai baritone last year from your recommendation. I am a songwriter and primarily a tenor ukulele player, but I've recently been converting my songs from tenor to baritone. Thank you for your helpful videos.

[@timcason3479]

I love this. Thank you for sharing this!

[@iritazemite1201]

Man i LOVE this channel. Keep the great work up!

[@Jenny-kg7zb]

You just earned a like from me when you said Lanikai made you fall in love with baritones! I am so in love with my Lanikai Bari!!!❤❤❤

[@larryarc]

Thanks for the reviews! I just ordered a Lanikai Spruce top Baritone from our local shop based on your recommendation. I will post a pic on our FB group when it comes in!

[@shoshannashelley4995]

I have the Ohana BK- RB rounded back baritone. I love it. The solid spruce top gives great tone and the composite back and sides allows for clear and loud projection. I like the narrow depth. Very comfortable to hold and play. I converted the strings to GCEA low g.

[@serenityblade]

Thank you for this review Bernadette! I got the electro acoustic Duke. I'm in love with it!

[@brendabsings]

I lovvvvve my Bari. My mom had one when I was growing up and it’s what I chose to start I last year. I like the way I can use guitar chording. It’s a nice full sound. Thanks for demo-omg these. I am digging that 8 string!!

[@Denniscars2020]

Bernadette, I love your videos. I decided I wanted to get a Baritone ukulele to go along with my other ukuleles. I found an absolute gem, a 1961 Gibson Baritone that is in near mint condition. I received it yesterday and I am infatuated and can't wait to learn how to play it. The Ohana with the curved plastic back is very reminiscent or similar to the parabolic shape of the back of Ovation guitars. Hearing you play the Ohana it sure sounded sweet! The 8 string sounded really cool as well. By the way, my wife and I are in our 60's and we both take ukulele lessons every Saturday morning. Although we take separate lessons our teacher does get us jamming together and learning some songs together. Typically I'll play the chords and my wife plucks out the notes. We enjoy playing the ukes. I truly enjoy watching your videos. You seem to talk to me, not at me. By the way, I bought my wife one of your UKU LELE tee-shirts off your merch site. Thanks again!

[@phyllisgula978]

I have a spruce top Cordoba with ebony back and sides. Love it!

[@Beautyofcolors]

hi there, you are amazing, thanks for being there on youtube and inspiring us, have a great day, keep smiling.

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Thank you so much for always being here and for being so encouraging :)

[@dh2602]

Got the Duke Bari and the awesome volume and projection even without the pickup.

[@taiming71]

I just love how the Barton's sounds.

[@chungadin]

I got a Fender Tenorcaster for Christmas. I’m looking forward to Baritone lessons

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Oh wow! Very nice :) I bet you have a really nice collection of ukus!

[@ScottFGuinn]

Those all sounded awesome! My fav was probably the one with the rounded back. I own an Oscar Schmidt Aloha OU53 and a Lanikai FM-CEB.

[@alpobc1]

That round back Ohana is reminiscent of Ovation guitars. I like the sound of the Duke.

[@trishbattersby5749]

I have a Snail S60B and I absolutely love it. It has a 35 m nut width which is great for those of us with shorter fingers and it has a lovely mellow sound

[@musicinthemeadow8744]

I CAN’T WAIT!!! I have a Kala baritone made of Koa wood...oh it’s warm sweet goodness! Looking forward to the challenge! (Leah)

[@plumberpool]

I've got a Caramel cb103 and a Melokia uk42. Baritone ukulele is my favorite instrument just started playing a few months back but it's so much fun.

[@woodyblakemore8401]

Well done.👍

[@ukulelemomster9852]

I have an Older satin mahogany Ohana model of the one you demonstrated without the cutaway with a high D and a Pono Baritone Nui tuned low D. Both were second hand finds and I am truly blessed! I really love playing Baritone. I am happy with both of them, if I were to get another baritone I would get a Kaniela. Thanks for the Baritone challenge, I am looking forward to it. ❤️️

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Ukulele Momster Ukulele Momster!!! You’re the cuuuutest. I have never heard a high D baritone!! 🤭 I am so curious.

[@francesrbernardo]

I have yet to try a bari but I already know it's the instrument for me!!! ❤❤❤

[@janerobles7363]

I love the sound of the baritone! If you will teach it I will buy one.

[@royalgamepro]

Hi Bernadette, I have the Clearwater round back baritone ukulele and I love it.

[@LaraLarkOfficial]

Thank you for your videos, they’re going to be such a big help to me as I learn to play! I’ve ordered a Caramel and a Luna eclectic baritone to test out. I’ve just received the caramel and it sounds nice but I can’t wait for the Luna!

[@ynh1989]

Omg I need that Duke!!😍😍

[@elizabethblackey4587]

Ms. B - I started the challenge with my 8-string Kala, but found it difficult when picking (I still LOVE it though). So after watching this I bought the Duke and it is so gorgeous looking and sounding and is easier to learn to pick. Thank you for your recommendations. I'm so happy with my choice. I even installed my own strap button for the first time! Continuing with the challenge now!

[@bobjohnston4325]

I didn't want to get a baritone ukulele because I knew the DGBE tuning would confuse me when I switch back and forth with a tenor or concert with GCEA tuning. I recently got a baritone and I absolutely love it. I love the sound, the size and the string action. I have to really keep on my toes for the chords when play one then the other but I'm so glad I now have both.

[@rjp63vip]

I love the ohana with the round back! Baby gots back! I also love the 8 string Baritone! Happy Strumming! Queen Bee 🐝

[@snickyoda]

I have a solid mahogany Mainland Ukulele. Excellent action and set up makes for ease of playability! Great sound! Looks fantastic! My 3rd Mainland, each one a ukulele I will have for life! Would love to her a finger style sample on those baritones please.

[@renaudmilhoux3504]

Hi! Based on your review I have just ordered myself the Kala KA-ABP8-CTG! 8-string baritone here I come!

[@stephaniepyne2535]

I have a beloved Beaver Creek baritone and converted one of my tenors to baritone. So my Leho tenor is a baritone now. Cannot wait for Baritone tutorials. It is so hard to piece my own learning materials together.

[@florentintise]

I am not really a Ukulele player, but I am restoring a baritone Giannini right now. Can’t wait to see how it’ll turn up. Enjoyed watching your video.

[@yellyukulelly7334]

8 string is on my list. Sounds beautiful

[@jimmielittle877]

Yes I'm seriously looking toward the Kala acacia baritone ukulele 🌹

[@Dreamer5211]

Hi Bernadette , thanks for the baritone reviews , my favorite would have to be the Lanikai with spruce top , the spruce seems to resonate and blend the tones so much better. I think we are going to see a huge year for baritone ukuleles , and a lot with built-in sound effects , guitars too. It only makes sense to evolve it that direction , kind of minimalist thing and take where you go and not need an amp for camp fireside play or just to travel with and park somewhere and play !! , Take care , thanks again , Gary 

[@Rob.Martin]

I have just got a Lanikai Curly Koa Baritone. Bought cheaply with no strings. Aside from attempting to play an octave lower than intended for a couple of days - it is fast becoming my favourite uke.

[@vananhho1556]

I loveee the deep sound of baritones. Don’t have one sadly but since I now have a low G on my concert it in a way kind of mimics the deep rich sound of a baritone!

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Van Anh Ho 🤔 we should find a way to get you a baritone. Let me think!

[@Martin_Entertains]

I have a low G on my Aklot tenor. Sounds great, but nowhere near as rich as a baritone.

[@vananhho1556]

mabell3yah Yeah I could imagine. A low G really can’t compete against a baritone

[@vananhho1556]

Bernadette Teaches Music Ahh that would be so awesome! 😭

[@gayahvyent4691]

I love the shirt and the Lanikai bari.

[@fjveoliveira]

So sorry we don’t have any in of them in Brazil. Thanks for the great sounds.

[@ph4edo]

Omg! I love love love the 8 string! 😍

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Right!!!?!? I loooooooved that one as well

[@amberfrench6678]

Hi there! I’m completely new to ukulele and instruments in general. I have been researching ukuleles all day and I’m incredibly drawn to the baritone ones! They speak to my soul! More tutorials on them would be SPLENDID

[@jacquelinetorres5656]

OMG thanks a world for this video!! i currently have Kala KA-SA-B mahogany wood, and same as you..i think we need more LOVE for the Baritones! that 8 strings. LOVE IT!! I think I'm going to get it ..is tooo coolll!

[@edlafferty306]

I have a Kmise baritone uke. Got it about a month ago and of my four ukes (one of each size) it has quickly become my favorite. I love the sound and feel of it. I like the size and heft when I hold it. I like that it forces it me to practice more now on at least two ukes a day, to keep the chords straight between the GCEA and DGBE tunings. I am looking forward to the Baritone Course! And maybe I'll post a video someday...

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Hi Ed! Yes, baritone became my favorite pretty quickly as well. There’s just something so special about it!

[@denisenadeau5243]

wonderful

[@karenkirwan1280]

I'll take one of each ❤️

[@muxesuu]

hi Ms. B! Im hoping my next uke will be a baritone. I love how deep and full the sound is. Then maybe i could pickup guitar! Who knows though im not a fan of thinking ahead!

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Hi Heyab! Nice new profile photo. I almost didn't recognize who I was talking to! The baritone is a nice transition instrument. If you can get one, I totally recommend it ;)

[@krzysztofluczak11]

i have a Mahimahi MB 7G baritone ukulele and Kala ABP-CTG 8 8 string baritone. Both are wonderful. I am Polish and I cannot afford very expensive ones but the tho I have are great. Cheers from Poland.

WOW I'm a guitarist and after seeing this I really want a baritone ukulele xD they look like lots of fun

[@audreypaulus3571]

I have a Kala ziricote baritone uke and I love it..!

[@marionvoorendt8887]

Hi Bernadette, I have bought an Oscar Schmidt by Washburn, and look forward to leaning how to play it with your Baritone Ukulele challenge coming soon. In Australia we get Amazon Prime, but unfortunately we are unable to buy many of the Ukuleles you recommend or use. I get upset, as I always want what you recommend lol, and I just love the way you teach and challenge us to learn. Thank you for building my passion in wanting to play ukulele's.

[@myerswoodturning6640]

I bought a Kala baritone uke, which sounds wonderful, but I will definitely be checking out some others. I love the sound of the 8 string - I am also a bass player and have always loved the sound of 8 string bass - Thanks John Entwistle (The Who) and Tom Peterson (Cheap Trick). I have also seem some electric baritone uses (solid body) which I am also interested in.

[@florakay364]

I seriously need a bari. My ears omg 🥰🥰🥰

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Flora Kay yes yes yes!!! Talk to Uma!!! 😊😊

[@Covers-and-Commentary]

Yay, thanks for giving BariUkes some love. I think I would love the 8 string to give me a chorus effect and the rounded back. If you can get your hands on an electric Baritone that would be amazing. I converted my shortscale electric guitar into a BariUke. I love it but I’m looking forward to getting a custom made electric soon

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Hiiii!! I read the last comment you wrote about giving bari some love and moved this one higher on the publishing list ☺️ Thank you for that. Custom made electric!? That sounds amazing!!!

[@01mistapee]

Speaking as an old codger - I’m significantly past four score - I love my baritones. I have a baritone resonator with steel strings from barebones folk instruments from New Zealand - so rich in tone, and a Gold Tone banjolele which similarly has steel strings. Between the two, any music is great.

[@sama5]

Try the Kala. I love it. They now have a cutaway baritone. Wish I waited.

[@AlyssaAnneMakeup]

Could you PLEASE do an updated version of this

[@Rodaportal]

These baritone ukuleles are pure magic! 😍 The UMA Baritone has a special place in my heart with that vintage vibe. And that Lanikai Baritone? Total love at first strum! 🎵 Oh, and the funky surprise at 2:25? Mind-blowing! 🎉 Playing around with these ukes must be an absolute blast. Can't wait to dive into the world of baritone ukuleles myself. Thanks for the awesome recommendations! 🙌

[@amberyooper]

My first ukulele was a Lanikai tenor, which was about as small as I could play. Then I found out about the baritone ukuleles, and managed to find a couple in a music store to try out. I ended up buying a Cordoba 20BM, which is a pretty decent baritone that isn't horribly expensive. I've had that for a year or so, and I'm looking to buy another baritone that has a pickup of some kind so that I can plug it in for recording. This video showed up on my google search, so that worked out well. That 8 string is awesome!

[@baronbadtaste6060]

I play a baritone but in GCEA tuning .Low G . Sounds great .

[@kenschroeder184]

I've got a Clearwater roundback baritone ukulele-- it's just like the Ohana but the plastic is flat black rather than glossy-- it's cheaper than the Ohana-- sells for around 180 euros. The Clearwater also comes with a passive pickup.

[@darthstig5727]

Once I can play a “standard” ukulele, I’d love to try a baritone. The 8 string is amazing! Thanks for the inspiration Bernadette.

[@olearntz]

You don't have to be able to play the "standard" one first. Start wherever you want to start.

[@JR-fw4jv]

I have a vintage Pheonix childrens guitar that I customized into a baritone ukulele. All wood with original machine tuners. Sounds great with nylon or nylgut strings. Currently experimenting with flourocarbon...

[@DennisSheaPRM]

I am totally into Baritones! I have Kala Big Earl and a Cheap China made model. This was a great video. I like what I heard out of the spruce tops. That round back one is cool also. Reminds me of Ovation Guitars. (I'm old enough to remember when Ovation hit the guitar market). Glad you're gonna give more luv to Baritones!

[@ggaloisio2495]

I don't play guitar at all. I would like to play the ukulele. I have a baritone given to me, should I start with that or should I start with a smaller one ?

[@patrickrobertson7290]

Great info. Thanks a lot. You really did this the right way and I could appreciate it better than with any other place or person. They talk too much in between showing each uke’s sound. Great job.

[@jimcummings4712]

I have a Kala baritone uke. It sounds so smooth.

[@elizabethblackey4587]

Oh how I adore the sound of the 8 string. About 6 months ago I wanted to buy a baritone. I thought I had chosen one and then went to a local store that had a Kala 8 string baritone. The moment I played it my heart felt full. I went back to try the 4 string and said nope. I bought the Kala and haven't looked back (and supported my local store). The sound it magnificent. I am a beginner so getting my brain to switch chord shapes is a challenge but I'm working it. Thank you for this comparison and for sharing the 8 string.

[@irish4727]

How is tuning the 8 string? love the sound but how difficult is tuning?

[@somethinglikekatie]

I’m ordering the Lanikai soooon!!!

[@iHeartUkes]

yaayyy!! My favorite is my Cordoba 24b baritone even though it cost less than half of my other favorite. =)

[@ametistum25]

Thank you for the nice presentation of the uks :) im interested on Ohana Baritone Ukulele (Model No. BK-70RB) but i dont find it on any shops in norway :( or other shops

[@FenrirInFlowers]

Cool video! Went into the local music store on Valentine's Day to order some strings, and I was trying out the ukes in the store. Their baritones didn't feel as big as my tenor (my tenor is much wider at the nut), so I didn't even realize at first that they weren't just low G tenors. I keep thinking about one of the used Baris they had there and your upcoming Bari challenge. Lol The price was really good, but I have to keep reminding myself that I'm currently broke. Still, it was quite a revelation that the baritone wasn't necessarily too big for my hands.

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Oh, that’s good! Thank you for letting us know about your revelation. There may be other people here who have the same concern

[@aaron3890]

Thanks for giving more attention to the bari uke world! I play a Kala spruce and striped ebony baritone every day and love the bold punchy sound. I've been sitting on the fence about whether to get the Ohana BK-35CGE but it sounds so much quieter in this video than the others, so now I'm really not sure. Where can you buy a Uma uke?? I can't find them for sale in the US but I know they are good quality.

[@stephenbouchelle7706]

I recently got a Kala baritone travel (thin body) spruce top uke. I like it a lot. I tune it to CGCE which is fun. Also playing a Kala tenor resonator GCEA, and a Kmise tenor travel gCEA. I like all of them. The inexpensive Kmise stays in tune and sounds pretty good. It even has two strap buttons. I like your videos. Thanks.

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Hi Stephen! Thank you so much for letting us know about your ukuleles! I'm curious about the CGCE tuning :)

[@stephenbouchelle7706]

Bernadette Teaches Music How nice to hear from you. I do enjoy your channel. The tuning is an open C tuning and is similar to open tunings on guitar such as Open - D or G or C. Open D (DADF#AD) and G (DGDGBD) are pretty common guitar tunings for blues and slide guitar - Bob Dylan also did a lot of Blood On The Tracks in open D. I like open C on guitar (CGCGCE), so I tried it on the baritone uke. It does well for blues but also for British Isles folky stuff. That said, I mostly improvise on any instruments I play. Something I appreciate about your channel is the content to work on some real repertoire. I like both low and high G on my regular tuned tenors. Again, thanks for your work and for saying Hi. Stephen

[@ChristineB9046]

Hello Bernadette, I love this demo of Baritone Ukuleles. I am a beginner and have followed your 30-day challenge with my Enya Concert. Now that I have heard you play those baritones, I need to get one! I particularly like the Ohana Baritone Ukulele (Model No. BK-70RB). I have been looking everywhere for it online here in Canada but nobody has it in stock anymore. Do you know if Ohana still makes that beautiful model??? It is so beautiful, it would be a shame if it had been discontinued...also, why doesn't Enya make Baritones??? Thank you so much for your great teaching! Thanks to you, I have discovered a new passion at 65 years young! Please keep Baritone tutorials coming!

[@unplannedsyntax]

I have a Lanikai...The Duke looks really beautiful!

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Which Lanikai do you have? Yes, the bari is amazing. Love love love it :)

[@unplannedsyntax]

@@BernadetteTeachesMusic I have the LU21B, which is an old model.( Lanikai is kinda popular here in Brazil.)

[@Fleischmagnet]

Oh what? i have two same baritones like you. I have the lanikai and the roundback one, but my is from clearwater... I just love the spruce top sounds. I'm happy that you make videos about the baritons, thank you for that.

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Fleischmagnet oh wow! Which of the two do you play the most?

[@Fleischmagnet]

@@BernadetteTeachesMusic I play the roundback at home and the Lanikai at work. I work in a Kindergarten and play and sing with kids from 1 till 6 years. So i think i play more the Lanikai cause the sound is more balanced. After that i hade a Question to you. In the futere i want to make a own channel with kids songs, many parents ask me:"how works this song and this song..." The sound in your Videos are very nice, what kind of Microphone do you use?

[@Cr8z13]

I have a Caramel and a Kmise baritone and love them both. I'll have to take a look at some Ohana ukes!

[@j.taires5889]

hi Bernadette ~ thank you so much ~ i have an Ohana BK70R ~ am wondering if i can find a baritone that has more BeeF! your demo was great, but when you played to compare, i honestly couldn't tell much difference, even the 8 string was not any more stunning than the others ~ do you have suggestions? pretty plz? i am fairly new, meaning i play mostly on the top of the neck and would love to learn more and get into some of my fave jazz songs too ~ much thanks, love your energy and no-nonsense video, yes!!

My Bari is Mitchell, I love it, but I want another one

[@meaningfulsongs5231]

I have a Makala MK-B and a Caramel. I tune them to open G tuning, the E string tuned down to a D. Open G is the basic Bluegrass Banjo tuning, and since I already played banjo, I didn't have to learn new chord positions.

I bought a bari uke for 10 bucks from my best friend. It's a harmony baritone ukulele made in the 60's it was used to teach kids for 3 decades so obviously it had its far share of dings and dents. I am restoring it to it's former Glory. Wish me luck!!

Thank you for this review! My 6y.o. son is learning Baritone Uke because he wants to play guitar. He has been learning on a Tenor Uke with Baritone strings made for tenors, but since he has been committing to practicing and going to lessons, we're thinking about an upgrade. I'm wondering which of these (or other!) baritones would be the easiest, low action, for very little fingers? (Like the Flight travel uke in Soprano ❤). Thanks for any suggestions!

Just received a Baritone ukulele for Christmas 2019. The buyer was a novice, not knowing what to buy, only the least expensive...it's a Makala, cost was about $90 (carrying case not included). I'm enjoying the deep sound, but I'm just having trouble switching between the soprano to the baritone chords because the finger chords are different and I need to memorize a different set of chords for the baritone. The first song I learned was La Bamba (3 chords). I bought a song book for the Baritone ukulele...popular songs with only 3 chords. I need to practice learning more chords and also chord switching. I understand there are different ways to make the C chord, possible making it simpler to jump from a Gb to a C. I also have not explored the world of "picking" since I don't have long finger nails, only fat fingers. I'm having sweet fun with my new Berry.

Eva Gall hi Eva!! Yes, the Makala is the least expensive but I have heard lots of people are happy with it! It is tricky to switch from soprano to baritone, but it gets easier when, like you said, we memorize chords.

Thinking of getting a lanikai SPSTB, the baritone and wondering if these are set up, right out of the box, usually. Do they have high or low D? Thankyou Bernadette, you are a wonderful teacher and love your channel thankyou in advance

I just found your video while surfing. I held my breath to see my Luna Baritone Zebra Acoustic-Electric Ukulele with the "Natural High Tide Design". I don't have any other brands to compare mine to but I do enjoy the acoustic natural sound and amplified it is amazing! So, it's not on your love list? lol
