_Mt 6 String Baritone Ukulele

[mtracz]

I am very excited to share one. It's a 21.125" scale baritone ukulele with six strings tuned to standard guitar tuning. Made with Sycamore back and sides with a Western Red Cedar top. Bindings are Sycamore, neck Mahogany, and fingerboard/headstock/bridge Pau Ferro. The body and headstock are finished in French Polish and the neck Tru-Oil. Set up with low action, 20" radius fretboard, 1.875" wide at the nut, and 2.25" string spacing at the saddle.

She plays and sounds like a dream and has a sibling about to be completed as well, a tenor version. Below are a few photos (max amount sorry) of how she sits now and I have full documentation of the build. Maybe one of these days I'll post a build here... Not sure I'm ready.












Thank you for the inspiration and for viewing this thread!

Very nice detail work. How does she sound ?

[mtracz]

She really sounds great. I know I'm probably a little biased but I was surprised by the volume and subtle touch. It really sounds more like a guitar than ukulele and is very comfortable to play. I will definitely make another for myself.

I am very pleased. Hopefully the new owner will be as well!

Thanks for the kind words!!! I get lost in the details...

Great build! The woods complement each other nicely, and the figure in the sycamore is sharp. Thanks for sharing the pics.

Very nice. You should post a sound clip.

[mtracz]

Thank you haolebrownie and ihs!

Unfortunately I'm a poor player and yes I tried... It just too embarrassing especially on a site with such a collection of talent.

Maybe I can try and connect with the local music school and come up with an incentive for them to record for me.

Thanks for stopping by!

Best,
