Roundup: Get the Lowdown on 7 Baritone Ukuleles | Ukulele Magazine

The Ortega RUACA-BA baritone ukulele stands out with its beautiful acacia construction and attractive padauk binding, showcasing an elegant design. Players noted its excellent playability and smooth action, perfect for both strumming and intricate fingerstyle work. However, while its tone is rich and warm, particularly in the midrange, some might find it lacks the depth and complexity of higher-end models. The asymmetric headstock may also be a divisive design choice. Overall, it's a solid instrument for those seeking quality at a reasonable price, making it a worthy addition to any ukulele family.

Beautiful baritone ukulele!

Around the time I was curious about baritone ukulele, which are hard to come by in Japan, I saw this second hand at a local music store. It was strung with a high D string (dGBe) and sounded beautiful! I have kept this arrangement, and it always stays nicely in tune as well!
