Interesting post about Mim. Baritones' aren't flying off the shelf. Thx

You're welcome!

You're welcome. I don't know what shipping to TX would be at this point. I'd guesstimate $20, + or, so. Thank you

hello, yes,

Congratulations! Sounds like you did well.

Magic speller Congratulations on your decision to research these subjects. At this early stage of your Uke Journey, I'm glad to see you've taken an interest in Martin Ukes. Their basic uke line represents a great playing and sounding instrument at an affordable price. In time, you may want to...

Speaking recently with the Martin purchaser at Elderly Instruments, possibly still, the worlds' largest Martin dealer, about a new Martin Baritone uke, their response was: "Not no way, not no how!" Or, words to that effect. ic-uke

Thoughts on the Pono Nui "Big" baritone I'm most impressed! I came across it by accident. I believe that it could compliment my current ensemble (I multi-track record Light Classical pieces) - Bass guitar > Classical Guitar > Baritone Uke > Tenor uke (Koa) & Chromatic Harmonica. After...

Wykhuh Thank you for sharing. I was just scouring the net for such an instrument. ic-uke

Ditto; I'd sure like to take one of them around the block for a test drive! The accompanying demo video is quite nice.

Perhaps, this is worth a boo: https://theukulelesite.com/shop-by/size/baritone/pono-cedar-top-acacia-ul-baritone-uln4-1-7302.html Cheers ic-uke

Dohle Yes, I'm late to the party here. I'm glad that folks are still replying as Baritone strings are quite a niche item compared to those of its standard siblings. Congratulations on your Cocobolo acquisition! I'm a huge fan of Martin uke strings on my standard ukes but never cared for them...

Dohle With it's wound fourth string, I find the D'Addario EJ99B Pro-Arté Carbon strings to be a good compromise between wound and plain Bass Strings. I've played fingerstyle on them, hard, for almost two months and they're still performing and sounding great. Nice price too. ic-uke

Hi Wayjo and congratulations on your first post. I don't have anything to recommend either, sorry. Perhaps, the Clamp-on tuner option would be worth consideration, especially in light of the fact that you have multiple instruments. Only one battery to change and all the instruments are...

Interesting about Pono necks. The Godin Multi Uke Tenor Acoustic / Electric that I'm selling here, on UU also has a truss rod. I believe that LoPrinzi uke necks are made of multiple woods for extra stability. That was one of many reasons for me to order a Baritone from them via Uke Republic.
