COLOURS - Harmony Baritone Uke

[@heidilitke]

Very nice Ken.....good music for a morning coffee with my man!

[@Fadeypoo]

Really enjoyed that, Ken. I might try and learn this on my Brunswick tenor, but by the light of a single table lamp. I hope you are well sir.

[@russbuss415]

excellent sound Ken. nice job on the lighting too.

[@joseluissolla2125]

A joy. A beauty. Congratulations and thank you!

[@ScottManess]

Great job, Ken. Sounded great!

[@billyboggins]

really nice Ken...one of your best

[@robertforrester578]

that's just plain old good work Brother. Thanks from Philadelphia

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks for listening, Robert.

[@quangkhungtk]

That's amazing sir! i love your voice. I've just known the ukulele until now. Your Baritone Ukulele is great too. I want to have one and play like you so much.

[@999actav1s]

I've played one of these, and I have to say that the sound is absolutely beautiful.

[@pfrogner]

Very nicely played! I enjoyed that much.

[@aarondminnick]

Very nice. I've heard several of these old Harmony baris and had the chance to play one from a local seller. I haven't heard another with their unique folky sound.

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks.

[@thesebinextdoor]

You sound excellent as always, Ken. And I like the videography, too! Nice mood.

[@derekbudd2394]

Well I will give you a “Heads up for the Camerawork Ken” 😅 as well as a great demonstration of your Living Water Strings, they really sing. If anyone was in doubt as to their quality and tension your passionate playing illustrates their quality. And like a good wine it’s great to see you maturing and playing with great gusto as usual. Well done and loving the Baritone.

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks for the comments, Derek.

[@jimbo9580]

i really enjoyed that , great picking and singing.

[@MoriceFR]

So beautiful! I love it

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you , Lynda. I'm pleased that you liked it.

[@kenkeatley]

Beautiful performance Ken ,thoroughly enjoyed it ,sounds fantastic.

[@adityafirdaus3881]

it's really soulful play. I love it.

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks for listening.

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you so much.

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

Sounds nice, doesn't it, Pete. A little distortion, but that is from the volume on the mic, not the uke.

[@shefsus]

Thank you for the music, Ken. I am your old fan. What you are doing sounds so cute for my Russian soul. I know it is strange but If I close my eyes, I sometimes think that you are playing the balalaika :)

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

Re-entrant tuning on a baritone is wonderful, Ian. It stops it sounding like a toy guitar.

[@PeteyMack64]

I really enjoyed this! You sure know how to make that old Barry sing Mr. Ken..I look forward to hearing from her again, Thank you sir. :0)

[@theBradlands]

Yea for big ukes! Sounded great Ken

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks very much.

[@lauriemilliron8862]

This video just convinced me to buy an oldHarmony rather than a new Cordoba. I love your music!

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

Make sure you check the action height though. Thanks for watching.

[@lauriemilliron8862]

Okay thank you!

[@lauriemilliron8862]

Is it hard to have it set up with a lower action because of its age?

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

The lighting was 2 table lamps, Russ, but it seemed to work OK.

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

Yes, he is. Thanks for watching.

[@TheWildlifeStudio]

That does sound nice Ken. Not got one tuned like that, must try it. :) Thanks for posting

[@BaronK69]

Great stuff Ken!

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

I'll take that as a compliment. Thanks.

[@revdrjim]

baritone? don't get crazy on us ken! oh...and well done as usual

[@spreadgoodvibes]

Thanks! And wow, what a quick response.

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks R. Do you think there will be a uke fest in Sweden next year?

[@russbuss415]

the lamps work well Ken. i have a few new originals on my channel too if you have a spare moment.

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you.

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

I think the bagpipes come a poor third after the banjo (and similar) and the chuch organ.

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

High D tuning really brings it to life though, Brad.

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you, James.

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you, Ernie.

[@minnechuk]

Beautiful. Nice job.

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you.

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks for dropping by.

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks for letting me know.

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks for that.

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks. Just regular re-entrant high D tuning.

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

YT is getting crazy, Russ. I never knew they were there.

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

Hi Heidi. Hope you are both well. See you in 2013.

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks for subscribing.

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks for watching.

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

Yes, I used to view baritones somewhat differently until I discovered that they sound very different with re-entrant tuning.

[@spreadgoodvibes]

Love. I have close to the same year Harmony and can't get it to stay in tune well. What do you recommend? Know for sure, it needs new strings. Much help appreciated. Thanks!

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

Just get new strings and make sure the tuners are not slipping.

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

This baritone was a gift. Don't know much about it. It is laminate. Has a very high action. Sounds OK. Depends what you mean by collection. I don't collect ukes really. If you want lots of instruments, then get one. They are not expensive.

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

Haha. That would certainly make me shudder too.

[@human.rationally]

Beautifull

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you.

[@ukuRole]

A M A Z I N G ! ! !

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

I know I have actually recorded one tune from your part of the world, but I think it was Ukrainian. Not on the balalaika though.

[@ddbtdd]

Great performance- sings like John Prine and plays like Bob Dylan or maybe the other way around? LoL! Kidding! Please say a little more about your Harmony Baritone. Approx. how old? Laminate or solid wood? Though inexpensive and relatively common they are worthy of a collection. Do you agree? Take Care-

[@lightbulb1952]

Nice rendition! That thing rings like a bell! What strings you using? Thanks in advance.

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

I only ever us my Living Water Strings.

[@geeko9999999]

forgot about this song. well done, think I'll add it to my repertoire. how is your bari tuned/\ sounds great. I used to have an old harmony, but the neck was badly bowed.

[@twistysticks1]

sounds like half a step down

[@TimStudiesLaw]

Hey Ken - did you know this video is being used on an ebay listing for a vintage Harmony baritone uke? I just sent you an email.

[@revdrjim]

churh organ! *shudders* i'm having flashbacks of morning mass and my years in catholic grade school

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

One of my lamps was lighting up the green screen though.

[@jackpatino7069]

What is the scale length on your baritone uke? Thanks!

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

Jack Patino no idea. Pretty much the same as any other baritone, I think.

[@jackpatino7069]

:) That's just it, I have no idea. Thanks for your reply

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

I have just treated myself to a new camera, Sebi. Problem is that I can't operate it yet.

[@Flint3162]

I was trying to play along, but I guess you're not tuned the same? I'm in D, though linear, and it should play the same, unless I'm not understanding what chords you're playing. I figured out the key, but your chord shapes seem different

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

It is in tune to regular dGBE tuning. In the key of G. Don't forget that it is a baritone. This is why the chord shapes are different. Only 3 chords though so it is easy to play along with.

[@Flint3162]

@@KenMiddletonUkulele I figured out later that you're plating F#, C#, and B. I primarily play baritones too, though not as well as you do, lol.

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

The banjo uke is the Devil's instrument, Jim.

[@Dan_Frechette_Songwriter]

Nice start but by the end you own the song, brother!

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks for listening, Dan.

[@revdrjim]

i thought that was bagpipes

[@drbekken]

The Devil is a Busy Man.

[@jacksonscott4552]

Came here for the ukulele review and found something better.

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks.

[@Mrsdls77]

take it as a liment, lol

[@ZaneImac]

azing

[@revdrjim]

just step away from the banjo uke and everything will be fine

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you very much.

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you.

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you.

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you.
