Ohana BK-35GCE Baritone Ukulele Review

[@BirdWhisperer46]

I just bought a B stock of this model from Reverb and paid $319 pus tax and shipping, so about the same as yours. From all I have seen so far, it's well worth the money. By the way, the Ohana is 100% Mahogany and sound very good. And I am beginner, so any hints are welcome. :o))

We meet again! This time with a different uke, lol.

I am looking for a good sounding, durable and good value for money baritone ukulele, with and an EQ instrument to last me about 30 years and that will need not much modification within the price range of $400USD to $800USD excluding import taxes.I prefer the lower range of prices due to the additional costs of importing to where I am . Where I am there are not a lot of music shops and no services for repair of instruments. Where repair is needed the instrument will probably be need to be taken to a carpenter. I am told a solid instrument is more durable and easier to repair. From what I have seen these seem to good Flight Fireball EQ Ohana BK-35GCE Baritone Ukulele If you have any recommendations that would be appreciated

Thanks for the reply. I really liked the Ohana, but after I made the video the E string started going flat if I played it up the neck. It was only on that string and maybe just a problem with the uke I had. I’m not that familiar with Flight ukes, but heard they are good. I think Kala ukes sound good and seem well made. I would check out the solid cedar top and all Acacia baritone from the ukulele site. Would have to ask them to install a pickup but should still be in your price range. theukulelesite.com/kala-solid-cedar-top-acacia-baritone-ka-scac-b.html

Hello uke friend! I am presently considering the purchase of this intrument. I'm a lefty, which gives me a little more time to consider as it is on backorder until AUGUST 20203. After a few years of experience with this Ohana baritone, would you still recommend it? Thank you so much for your input! :) Happy strumming.....

[@WorldUkulele]

Thanks for the question. I really like the Ohana, but it started having an intonation problem on the e string playing up the neck. Probably just something on the one I have. I would also recommend the Kala KA-SCAC-B.

Did you have to modify the nut to install GHS strings?

[@WorldUkulele]

Hello, no, I didn’t have to modify the nut.

[@pslovebird]

Thanks for this review. I am currently deciding between this one and a Kala that's satin, but I think I want to go with this, so I appreciate this video. I do a lot of strumming, less finger picking than you though, lol. Where did you get yours from?

[@WorldUkulele]

I got it online from Cool Hand Ukes. You can also check out Uke Like the Pros.

@@WorldUkulele Managed to get one from the same place. Lovely sound not to mention I can plug it into my amp! Thanks for this video and the recommendation.
