Baritone Size and 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 and Fingers 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 may be more comfortable for those with a bit larger hands and fingers.
Fuller Tone and louder too.
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 are effectively the highest 4 strings from a guitar.
SOLID WOOD UKULELE: The Spruce and Ebony Combination
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 finger picking. 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.
