Solid Spruce Top Striped Ebony Series in Baritone size.

Spruce is known for its clarity, and dynamic range and response while ebony provides strong bass presence and responsive highs for a well-rounded sound profile.

BARITONE SIZE TUNED DGBE
Ukuleles come in many different shapes and sizes, this can sometimes be daunting for newcomers trying to pick out the right size for them.

The Baritone size is the largest size of Ukulele, larger than a Tenor. The next step up from the soprano in size. The Baritone scale is about a couple of inches longer, the neck is a bit wider, and overall it’s a little heavier than the Tenor.

LARGER HANDS ENJOY THE EXTRA ROOM
The extra length allows for more frets with wider spacing between them. The concert size is great for players of any skill or experience level, but maybe more comfortable for those with a bit larger hands and fingers.

FULLER TONE AND LOUDER
Being a bit larger in size, the Baritone has a fuller sound and warmer tone with more bottom end than a Tenor. Tuned DGBE it is a "lower' tuned instrument than the Regular Tenor/Concert/Soprano tuned Ukuleles. The DGBE is effectively the highest 4 strings from a guitar.

SOLID WOOD UKULELE: The Spruce and Ebony Combination

Solid wood is, in essence, one solid piece of wood that makes up the entire soundboard of the instrument. It is the most resonate and pure form of the tone-wood and requires much more finesse to install properly. However the wood is intended to sound with all its unique tones, it will be most apparent in a solid wood instrument. It is somewhat delicate in comparison to laminate wood but is highly sought after.

Spruce has been one of the most common tone-woods on acoustic guitars for decades and it’s no surprise it has found its way into the hearts of uke players as well. There are many variances in Spruce wood strains but it is usually favoured for its well-rounded properties that suit a wide range of playing styles.

The wood is very stiff and relatively light which makes it great for full-on strumming and quite responsive to delicate fingerpicking. The sound is bright, full, and all-around probably familiar to most. It has a very recognisable look that can best be described as a light blonde colour that yellows with age.

Ebony coloration is dark brown to black, with brown streaks. Tonally, ebony is powerful, clear, and has a dark tonality adding power to bass response. Clear, responsive highs and a slightly scooped midrange. A slightly longer period of playing time to open up as the wood dries and the tone really blossoms. Strong and hard, ebony is a great choice for backs and sides.

EBONY WOOD BACK AND SIDES

Ebony is a dense black/brown hardwood, most commonly yielded by several different species in the genus Diospyros, which also contains the persimmons. Ebony is dense enough to sink in water. It is finely-textured and has a mirror finish when polished, making it valuable as an ornamental wood.
