I Tried the Baritone Ukulele ...

[@wanton_chips3638]

For someone who wishes they could play finger style acoustic guitar but doesn’t want the headache of 6 strings and the baritone seems like the perfect sweet spot for me to learn a guitar like instrument

[@HeadHonchoPigLoc]

It is. Best entry to finger picking

[@nathanjasper512]

I'm a fingerstyle guitarist. I love my guitar, but I will say there can be some advantages to having 4 strings. The top 4 strings are right in the sweet spot for melodies, so it kind of forces you to focus on that. It gives you more room on the fretboard and you can do a lot of open chords and moveable open chord shapes without having to worry about bottom strings getting in the way. In fact that's sort of true about chord shapes in general. I've been having loads of fun with my soprano uke.

[@boogie404]

4 strings is the sweet spot. I like playing bass and ukulele more than guitars.

[@iokarii]

ok, but on bari uke exist scores? in such amount as tenor? or, could I take same strings as on tenor uke and use many of scores, which are or concert and tenor.. same tuning?

[@Loy_Otterton]

​@@iokariiyou can throw a capo on above the 5th fret and you have yourself a concert like ukulele.

[@edwardthorne9875]

I started learning ukulele when I was 62 years old. I have at least one of each size. My favorite is the baritone uke -- the tone is actually better than most of my other guitars, but the extra space on the fingerboard makes it much easier to play - more fun for me. For this tired old brain, it was great not having to worry about the bottom two strings! Hey, if I need those low notes, I will play my BASS ukulele.

[@anxylum]

I'm 48 with arthritis, and that's why I'm leaning towards the baritone ukulele as opposed to a guitar. I have a Luna soprano ukulele and I LOVE it, but sometimes I want a lower, deeper sound. I'm just trying to decide between the Luna and the Kala baritone.

[@edwardthorne9875]

@@anxylum Sorry to hear about the arthritis. Glad to hear that you are still playing music - it helps. I ordered a Caramel (Zebra stripe) baritone from Amazon for about $140, and am very happy with it. Looks like they are having shipping problems now, though. Luna and Kala make fine instruments, so it is probably a toss-up. Plinka Plinka.

[@rakehell404]

For beginners like me, being able to put a capo on the 5th fret allows you to play with your friends who are playing GCEA-tuned instruments without have to pull out the circle of fifths and tranpose their tuning to baritone tuning. It also means you can carry one instrument, instead of two, when you play with other people.

this is adorable!! what a lucky daughter~

[@janetschwartz1790]

I have a collection too. I don't have a baritone but all of mine have a special place. My mother bought me a John grey banjolele about 40 years ago but she never heard me play it as it is being refurbished. Last year I was told my mother had a week to live so I was given end of life visitations because of covid. To cut a long story short I was allowed to play my ukulele for her in the hospital........ She went on to live another seven months !!!! Now all of my seven ukes have a special place in my heart and for a while after her death I couldn't play..... I,m actually tearful now thinking about it but I realise that she would want me to carry on playing so I will.

[@arpitkatare9719]

from where you learn baritone ukulele can u put little guidance.

[@janetschwartz1790]

@@arpitkatare9719 you can find a lot of tutorials on KZbin for all types of ukulele,s but the best way to learn is at a ukulele club but unfortunately the pandemic has shut down a lot of clubs. The ukulele is a very easy instrument to play and you can down load loads of music on line. Practicing is the most important thing to do but a lot of chords are really easy. Try to find music that is familiar to you as it is easier to learn to play songs that you know and like. You can actually play all sorts of music on the ukulele even classical. Just browse on KZbin for " ukulele players" and there are some very impressive players out there. Good luck and enjoy

Yay! Finally the baritone ukulele makes its first appearance on this channel. I own two baritone ukuleles and really love them. I do not own a standard tune ukulele. I can't wait for our first lesson on the baritone. Thank you for getting one.

[@addran1210]

Wow this is such a good move Marco and letting us know there will be special courses for baritone you made my day! Of all ukes I have the baritone is the one I use the most frequently because I love the deep sound it has and the cooling effect after a harassing day at work.

I have been playing baritone ukulele for about a year! As soon as I picked it up I have not gone back to my other ukuleles! I can’t wait to see the amazing stuff you do with it!

[@Bettys_Eldest]

I bought a baritone about ten years ago for use as a travel guitar. I can accompany myself whilst learning vocal parts when away from home, also sit in on Irish pub sessions, or any opportunity to jam. So much easier than lugging a guitar around, and loads of fun. I've since bought a KAM (copy of the Kala U-bass) solid bodied electric bass uke. I sold my MIJ Fender Jazz bass, as it was not getting any use now I have the U-bass.

[@SpringfieldGuy]

I also abandoned my Fender basses in favor of my U-basses. MUCH easier to play and weighs just a fraction of the Fenders. I also now have a 6 string uke (tuned like a guitar) and plan to buy a tenor uke in the near future.

[@ageethmuilwijk7636]

I love my baritone uke and was happy to have you discuss the differences between the tenor and baritone. I am eagerly awaiting more lessons from you on the baritone. Thoroughly enjoy your channel.

[@Marys-Channel]

I L♥️VE this Baritone! I wanted it so bad. Just too Rich for my purse. However, I am Madly In Love with it's cousin, the Kala KA-B. The sound is so rich and full. The action is smooth. It's a hybrid/crossbreed for sure. I have a soprano, 2 concerts, and a tenor that I've been playing for a while. My 'first born' concert will always be my favorite. We have a history together. I'm on Day 4 with my new KALA KA-B. It's taking a little adjustment to the chord difference. I'm starting with simple songs I know well. The transition is easier than expected. I had to depend upon reviews, videos and experience on making my purchase without touching and feeling! Thanks Marco for this review! I love the one I have now and truly recommend it. Things also change every day!....I may have the opportunity to add another to my happy family of Ukuleles!🦋

[@anxylum]

Have you compared the KA-B to a Luna Vintage Mahogany baritone by any chance? I'm trying to decide between the two. I have a Luna soprano and I love it, so I'm leaning towards the Luna baritone, but I've heard good things about the Kala.

[@vaclavkovalsky9686]

Hello, thank you for all your lessons, they inspire me a lot! Started playing concert uke 4 months ago and I got so into it. Recently I wanted something with a deeper sound and went for a baritone. The sound stole my heart. First time I strummed it in the shop I knew this is the one for me! I cannot wait for more baritone stuff on your channel, thank you for all your work

[@paulapaul525]

I started playing 10 years ago. My first ukulele was a baritone. But I couldn't find anything online to help me learn. There weren't any books at the music store either. So I got a soprano uke and started watching KZbin. I play every size of uke and recently have found a lot more baritone tutorials so I have picked it back up. I also have a tenor guitar that I tuned to baritone so I am loving to play 4 steal strings. I am looking forward to you baritone videos.

[@alexis7845]

I absolutely adore my bari ukulele! I have had it for about two years and I love the rich and warm sound that it produces. It took a bit of experimenting to find the right strings (in case anyone was curious, for me personally Aquila Red work best, but I’ve also had good experiences with Martins) and now I can’t imagine going back to my old concert ukulele. I really can’t wait for new content and new bari tutorials!

[@TubeJLF]

Depending on the sound and feel you're after and where you're located. I can't recomend uke logics enough. I bought one set to try and now they're the only strings on every uke I own. I like the feel of reds but I always feel let down by the Aquila wound strings.

The benefit of the baritone for older musicians is the greater finger room for less flexible digits! I would like more advice on riding the rattles on strumming which often attends even necks with truss rods.

[@joannetait7985]

I love my 3 baris. I used to struggle playing guitar, started playing soprano uke but never liked the sound. I finally found a bari and when it became clear this was just a 4 string guitar and I would no longer have to transpose to play along with others, I was sold. I've upgraded my instrument every few years, going from a vintage Kent from the 60s, to a low end but very nice Caramel EA model, to the 8 string Kala, which is by far my favourite.

So I came across this video 5 days ago, and btw, Marco, you are my favorite Ukulele player here on KZbin and I am proud to be one of your Patreon members. I am in awe of your skill and love your classical style background and expression. After watching this video I immediately placed an order for the Kala KA-ZCT-B which was just delivered to me today and I am really enjoying it. I have only had Enya Uke's up to this point. A Tenor Nova Go Pro, a Tenor EUT-MAD EQ, and a concert EUC-MAD-XB Bernadette Signature. This is my first Kala and it is just magnificent. I love the deep tone and sound as it is the best of both worlds between a Uke and a guitar. I own a Taylor GS-mini in Mahogany which was my first stringed instrument, but it's 6 strings are just a little too complex for me as a beginner musician and that is why I switched over from guitar to Ukulele. Just like in the children's story of Goldilocks and the three bears, getting my hands on this Baritone Ukulele after playing on a concert and tenor size, makes playing a stringed instrument "just right" for me. Because of it's size and sound, I feel like I am playing a 3/4 sized acoustic guitar without any of the complications. Thank you so much for this video, Marco, it was just what I needed.

[@shambolicguru]

man your ukulele playing is so melodious❤❤❤👌👌

[@robbrown8483]

Marco! Thanks for your videos. Btw, Aquila makes baritone strings that can be tuned up to gcea tuning. I put these strings on my baritone and tune them a tone lower than standard gcea tuning to F, Bb, D, G, which gives me tuning of a renaissance lute or a guitar in standard tuning with a capo on the third fret. This sounds fantastic on my Kala baritone. Try this tuning, I think you’ll like it.

[@dumberdummer]

interesting! as someone who has only played concert uke and no guitar experience, I wonder if that would be a nice transition to enjoying the size and space of a baritone without relearning all of the chords.

[@jacklatou8145]

Truly great that you put some attention on the bariuke. Great, great instrument, with a strong character on itself. BTW, a lot of people try to learn guitar and quit after a short while, assuming it's to difficult and losing motivation. If they were introduced and started with the bariuke, after a while they would much more easily switch to the guitar (it's fundamentally "just" adding the upper 2 strings). Guitar teachers, guitar builders and shops are completely missing the point, by ignoring the promotion of the bariuke to the beginners. And continue to loose a huge amount of present and future sales and services...Cheers!

[@corriecrazy]

Jack Latou: You sound like my echo. lol I've been saying that for years, ever since the first time I picked up a bari uke. Now that I'm old (almost 77) and my fingers are a wee bit arthritic, I'm so grateful that I made the switch years back, because I can still play my 2 bari's.

[@samcowen4909]

I have had a Kala baritone ukulele for several years. It’s a basic entry-level model but still sounds and plays well. I have experimented with putting tenor strings on it and tuning it to low G as well. It is perhaps a little redundant because I have several tenors and a couple of concerts but it actually does give an even richer and fuller tone than a tenor. It’s currently in baritone again. I don’t necessarily recommend putting tenor strings on a baritone. Because mine is composite, it didn’t suffer any ill effects from the higher tension and it was inexpensive enough that I was willing to take the risk. That might not be the case for other baritones. Of course, the other advantage of putting a baritone in tenor tuning is being able to play along with other ukulele players without the capo or transposing the chords.

[@bobweber9802]

My next uke will be a baritone with low g tenor tuning.

[@electrocit673]

tunning a baritone uke as a tenor (with the correct strings) can be a great way to have more finger space and a richer sound. I have a basically a 5 sting baritone uke tuned as a tenor with both a high and low G in reentrant tuning and it sounds so rich and full. If you want that signature uke sound then get a tenor or soprano but if you want a full rich sound with lost of fret board space, a Baritone with gGcea might be some you would love.

[@colinhorsfall1678]

I’m not a proficient player but I do like both baritone and tenor ukes. By playing the chord shapes on my baritone that I’m familiar with from my tenor, I find I’m simply playing in a different key!

I'm a 70 y/o classically trained pianist whose has had a true love for classical guitar music all my life. My son took it up when young instead of piano, but he's not around now. A few weeks ago, I impulse ordered a Donner concert uke pkg on Amazon with the intention of teaching my 6 y/o granddaughter who lives with me (in addition to our piano lessons) . Well, it arrived and neh, would absolutely not stay in tune. I have perfect pitch, timbre was not pleasant enough and it just drove me crazy. The action was too hard and metal fret ends terribly sharp; I finally packed it up and returned. Decided I needed to do a bit more research and seriously contemplated the baritone uke with a deeper sound. Fortunately, after just discovering your KZbins (love them) and your commentary, I am definitely rethinking my new purchase of a ukulele. I need to begin on the easy side with arthritis in left wrist; the tenor seems like a good compromise. Also don't want to skimp on quality, because if it doesn't have a beautiful mellow tone, with ease of playing, I won't be inspired to pursue your channel. How do I know if I will have ease pressing on the strings, forming chords without having to apply so much pressure? Is there a way to adjust this on all ukes? I'm going to have to toughen up my left fingertips, I know, because MANY yrs ago I played simple tunes on a uke when teaching in elementary schools. Low G high G - you play beautifully on anything!!! Best maker... don't want cheap again, but do want one worth owning and passing on to my grandchildren. Any other suggestions out there, pls?

Hearing this instrument in a recording, I imagine it could easily be confused with a nylon string guitar, with a capo high up on the neck. Although the distinctive ukulele tone character is still present.

You are amazing, Marco, the baritone uke sounds awesome when you play it.😊

[@CeeJay254Art]

I have a concert and tenor. Will also save up for the baritone one. Its sounds amazing

[@navinsinha364]

I was waiting for you to buy the baritone ukulele. So thankyou and congratulations for doing so. Eagerly waiting for your lessons on it.

Great video! I’m currently building a baritone ukulele. I’ll be back when it’s finished!

[@murraymcavey4179]

yes, I love the baritone, since playing one, I play nothing else , My first one was, a beautiful , mehogany solid wood . The I brought a Kala , spruce top, fantastic quality, since, now my guitar and ,tenor ukulela hardly get touch, cheers from Murray, in Cristchurch New Zealand

OMG, I am SO excited for this video!! ❤❤❤ Marco, I picked up the ukelele a few months ago because of your channel and I'm now also a happy member of the uke fam on Patreon. Coincidentally though, I bought this exact Kala ukelele because I loved the deeper tone compared to the concert uke I learned on (but I tuned mine to GCEA with a high G since I'm still in early days). Now that I'm a few of your lessons in, I'm thrilled to hear you play on the same instrument and keep learning even more on the baritone! Edit: Oh noooo,... I just got to the end of the video and I'm totally that person who tuned it like a Tenor when I shouldn't have. I should probably restring it back again :(

love from Indonesia Marco..i'm the new subscriber.. so happy found this channel and i love the way you teach...

[@all-american-hips]

i love the way it sounds it's like ukulele's depressed older sister. the missing link between guitar and ukulele. i love it

[@ericg6453]

Thank you for the presentation. I love the Baritone Ukulele, I love the Tenor...trying to learn the Baritone, but feel as though I am missing the qualities of the Tenor. Fewer resources online for the Baritone, but I suppose if I had to choose, it would be the Baritone...but I don't have to choose, so hurrah! I look forward to future Baritone lessons.

@@suluapxkab1075 Thanks, I'll check it out.

Thank you for the comparison! I love the baritone ukulele and have had one for a long time. I took to it easily, coming from guitar. I also have a soprano ukulele, but I struggle to hold it because it's so small. Recently, I've been experimenting with a drop-D tuning on the baritone (lower the E string 1 step to D, resulting in an open Gmaj chord). It's been fun!

Nice playing man ! 👌🏻

[@timakey4678]

My collection includes soprano, concert, tenor (1 high “g” & one 5 string) baritone and U-bass. I like playing them all though the soprano and U- bass don’t see as much use as the other 4. I really enjoy the baritone and have some music specific to it. But I often practice Uke music on the baritone and just accept that I am working in a different key. Still, some music works better for me on the tenor or concert just because my mashed up mechanic’s fingers can’t reach the necessary frets on the baritone. But I will confess that finger picking the baritone is pure joy, and I love the lower, fuller tone. I’ve thought about getting another baritone and stringing it like a low “g” tenor. (I don’t have a straight low “g”.) But it might be hard to justify the cost…now if I could tell my wife it was from a sponsor…

[@sitdowndrank3077]

Planning on purchasing one after watching Jonsí’s live performance of go do not the same model but a baritone none the less (great performance btw)

[@kjfletcher3]

I have progressed from a soprano to a tenor to a baritone. Not only that, I am in love with the DGBD tuning and have even turned my 8 string Kala Tenor into a baritone tuning of DGBD plus my Gretch long neck tenor is tuned to DGBD..love it and will never switch. All I need is to find a Brazilian cavaquinho player group to play with. Slack Key DGBD or GCEG is the best ! I hope you will do some tutorials on the DBGD Baritone?

[@EllizDee]

I have a bariton, I do find that i pick it up for a while and end on the tennor. I would love to do more with it for sure, tha sound out of it is amazing. Looking forward to see what you come up with for it Marco. You keep posting and I will keep practicing.
