Got myself a baritone ukulele
 
I had some money for Christmas and I wanted a baritone ukulele. After much YouTube trawling and reading reviews I decided on a couple of choices, one of them being the Brunswick BU4B, and it turned out that the music shop in the town had one in stock, so after a play in it I bought it. It was strung reentrant but I wanted bari tuning so I got it restrung with D'addario EJ88Bs. And it sounds, looks and feels lovely! This is a fairly low budget uke (about £80) so a laminate, but that suits me. I'd rather not have the humidity issue to be honest!

Anyway here's how it sounds.

Cool. You should have fun with it. I just picked up a cedar/acacia Kala baritone ukulele. I had an all acacia at one time, so I'm enjoying it once again.

Being in the US, I'm not familiar with that brand. But a baritone ukulele is a fun diversion from guitar, while still being tuned the same as the highest four strings. Everything mechanically and musically translates over, without the "burden" of the bass strings and full six-string chord shapes.

You can grab baritone chord charts here:

"Chord groups" shows related chords, one line per key. Enjoy!!
