Enjoy and remember to like the video folks if you are enjoying the regular content.
This is the first that I've heard about Pono's smaller nut width. Good to know and definitely a selling point for some of us. You guys do a great job with these videos. Thank you.
Good job guys!
Cool! Thanks for the nice review, guys! Nice playing, too!👍
Ahhhhhh... that Kamaka is sweet!!! Thanks for that video guys!
Alex this was absolutely enlightening thank you so much! I think I really like the last one. The Kamaka just really sang! Leaving some good vibes with you from California💜🤟🏻😎🇺🇸
Thanks so much! I am shopping for a baritone and this was a great help. I'm thinking Kamaka
This video really helped me to decide which Baritone I wanted.
Very helpful video, informative and interesting with it.
Great vid, might in contact soon to purchase a ukuleles, been meaning to get one for a while
GOD BLESS YOUR SHARING .IT IS A GIFT .
The kala travel uke has that punch and projection...I like.
There sure is a range of subtle differences in the sound of these ukuleles.
I have a Cordoba 20-BM that I've had for about a year, and I just ordered a Pono AB Acacia with a radiused fretboard. I'm looking forward to seeing the playability difference between the two once I get the Pono.
My favorite is the Kanile’a K1-B. 😊
Pono pono pono. Kanaka sound at a real world price. Thanks Alex.
I put a bone nut and saddle on my cheap kala mahogany baritone uke, with diaddario titanium strings, and it's right up there with those uke comparisons.!
Great tutorial for a novice like me, given the 2019 date stamp thumbs up guys thank you
Thank you. I recommend checking out our most recent Baritone video which shows off some new models for 2021. 🌞
@@SouthernUkuleleStore hey hey thanks. I'm in Australia WA i will check out 2021 details for baritone.
Out of interest, although the Baton Rouge is the least expensive in the line-up, we were pleased to hear, and see, that George Hinchliffe (UOGB) bought a V2B earlier his year and was amazed it was only £99! - a few months later I saw him playing it live :-)
Got a ziricote Kala KA-ZCT-B this week for my first baritone and I'm amazed by the sound, playability and even the finish which is truly excellent for a factory instrument. Something to look at :)
We did feature it before but it was a couple of years ago now.

Yep, that's what I would like to have, a Barry White Ukulele! I rather like the Kala KA-MBG and KA-SA-B, they both have a pretty face and a pretty sound. I do like pretty, but the simplicity of the Pono are like the rest of my life. I like the smaller neck. The MGBD would be my choice of the Pono models you showed. Love the deep tones of the MGBD too. Nice! O, my, the Kanile’a SUS-B is beautiful all the way around. Love it! Well, golly, I pretty much love them all! You make this really hard! How many do you guys own of all the ones you have in store? I could not work in an ukulele store.
Wow! Thank you so much!!!!! I like the sound of the last one best. Would have liked the prices also. I write ole lady comedy songs because l am an ole lady. I find that l want a softer sounding Uke to match my more melodious voice and the cheap starter l have is too tinny sounding now. l have written a great song about how nice it would have been if baritone Uke had a nice dip in the back for women. We would now have lots of great music that we've always lacked! Any suggestions? :) Great video! Wish yo'all were nearer.
The tuner buttons on the Kamaka are Snakewood. Thanks for the great videos!
Thanks for the info
Just bought it today!
I wish the right ukulele could choose me like the wands in Harry Potter. Really can't make up my mind! Amazing review though, thank you very much!
They all look so pretty lol
For me, on balance of price, looks and sound the Ohana BK35G would be the one for me. But I’m only a beginner ....
I'M choosing between Kala KA-SSTU-B or Kamaka HF-4DS... can't choose..
Hello southern ukulele store just ordered a Kala KA-BE SATIN mahogauy baritone ukulele what do you think of this ukulele your expert advice would be greatly appreciated thanks m scott
Kamaka win...also only for the look! :)
Do you recommend re-entrant or linear strings and any recommendations on string maker ? I had heard that Living Water was good.
I personally tend to like linear tuning on Tenors and reentrant tuning on baritone.
Living waters dre fine... There are hundreds of choices do just try a couple until you have a grasp on what feels right for you.
Love the Pono AB.What is the tune Phil Is Playing.
Hi there - it’s one of his own. You can hear our band version of it at the link below.
ruclips.net/video/1xe3j30BFYQ/видео.html
I play a Kala KA-ABP-CTG (if I'm reading the faded label correctly). A baritone with a solid cedar top and internal pickup. This thing just sings with that top, so warm, so much like a cedar top guitar. Then plug it in (reduce amp gain for feedback with this kind of pickup) and fill your home with music. I couldn't recommend this uke enough. And please DON'T store it in a case, hang it right behind where you dwell, like your desk, so you play it all the time.
I like the Kamaka best
Do you have any videos of truss rod adjusting. I have a pono. I cant seem to find any vids on it cheers dave
No we don't. It would be the same theory as on a guitar though.
Thanks. Is it possible , your friend uses one day baritone ukelele to play LA PALOMA ( PIANO MUSIC SCORE , FIRST 20 BARS .. ENDING IN TI SO DO .....
In this video, you demonstrate a Kala KA-MBG baritone Uke. I've searched high and low and have been unable to find this uke anywhere, even on the Kala website. Do you guys know if this model is still in production? If so, how can I find one? Thank you!
When I Google 'kala ka-mbg' it comes right up at several stores in the UK. Its not in stock on our website right now but we can get it.
There should also be a link in the description of this video to this ukulele.
Southern Ukulele Store Are you able to ship to the US? Strange that it’s not available here.
Yes we can. Shipping is 59.50GBP
Kala KA-SA-B wins it for me :)
I would like to have heard how the more oval shaped ukelele sounds (as opposed to hour-glass shaped). The one over your left shoulder. I would imagine that since it has a larger body that it also has more resonance. What is the name of that shape? And if you've done a review of that shape, can you please respond with the link? Thank you.

I think you're talking about the pineapple Pono. It's worth looking through the channel as there are over 200 comparison videos in circulation now.
The ukes in the background are Concerts so not nearly as rich as a Baritone I'm afraid. Very much apples and oranges there.
@@SouthernUkuleleStore Oh I see. The first thing you said in the linked video is that you're not aware of a pineapple baritone. Thank you for responding.
im looking for a bari with a thin neck .i have a small hand . thanks soo much
Pono or the soon to be released Snail models are going to be your best bet.
Hey brotha I'm coming from the guitar world and I was just wondering how you go about changing strings on a pin bridge without ball end strings. I know how to tie classical and ukulele strings on a traditional bridge but no idea what to do with a pin bridge.
You can approach it two ways - with a bead on the string and a little knot or with a big fat ugly double knot in the end of the string 😄
A “sailor knot” (kind of a figure-8 shape) makes for more of a long-symmetrical, and more “graceful looking” knot, which I think works better than a “regular” O-shape knot.
Why does this guy remind me of Phil Collins? A compliment by the way....
you are awesome alex and phil ~ i want the best, richest, most brilliant sounding baritone ukelele for my fabulous voice accompaniment~ a new partner in musical adventures! plz advise ~ from the kalalai KIB series on up ~ help me plz ~ i'm retired and need t catch a break ~ but must have some rich joyful soul ~ i'm in ~ great vid, ty guys
I'm afraid I have no idea what a Kalalai KIB ukulele is and neither did Google. What kind of price range were you thinking about? I'm happy to point a few winners out to you. 🙂
On the koa Kanile’a (K1-B, . . . “E”), why do you call it a K1-BE? (As a side note, I play a 2019 K1-B, so, essentially the exact same instrument). It is not electric (which sometimes gets an “E” designation). And the label itself (visible in the video) says K1-B. Was there a time that “E” was added to designate ebony saddle and fretboard?
Hiya,
Starting with CITES changes in 2017 and until 2020 we did still call them K-1BE's because it was the export model. The model itself switched to Ebony on domestic models the year before but it took a bit of time for the codes to line up. There was a few years where Kanile'a made international models with Ebony and continued using rosewood for US orders.
Would you demo several 8 string tenor and baritone ukes?
No, sorry... I literally can't think of anything more frustrating than trying to tune several 8 strings up on the same day.
In all seriousness, we have featured most of the 8 strings we stock at various times. Its worth going back through our listings where the links would be embeded to the sound sample. I don't have plans to make any more 6 or 8 string specific videos as I rarely have a selection in stock.
@@SouthernUkuleleStore I have and 8 string and I know it's not that difficult to tune one. Do 4 if 8 is too much.
@@forogafold I don't think you get my sense of humour and it doesn't change that we rarely have a selection in stock.
I'm curious if the travel size Kala has any impact on the baritone sound with that slimmer body?
I wonder if anyone has ever considered making an instrument from Ironwood; hardness contributes to volume and brightness.
Not sure but I just bought one made out of oak. Super excited!
I like the pono
To some people , i think , playing la paloma same melodies ( maybe 14 bars , starting from
How can I get one of these in Mexico?
The ukulele site in Hawaii ship to Mexico and so do Uke Republic.
@@SouthernUkuleleStore thnx.. I didn't see this reply!
what is that song u are playing?
ruclips.net/video/1xe3j30BFYQ/видео.html
One of our own.
@@SouthernUkuleleStore thanksssss
Nice videos but you needed some strumming to really hear the Baritone sound.
All of the sound samples are of strumming.
L9
wait! the shirt...what up wit that shirt
It's either that or my hairy naked body I'm afraid.
sorry...the label i guess...i wear red...brand thing ...i bet. .funny bro...peace be with you...just cracked me up
There is no price indication of any Uke from the cheap 100-quid range...
Because prices change. The links in the description take you to the most recent listings of the ukuleles.
Why use your chest area to advertise a sugary health-damaging drink by a nasty corporation?
It's really irrelevant what tshirt I wear but if you must know I wear it because I studied graphic design and it's one of my favourite logos. I was born in 87 and that specific Pepsi logo was introduced around 90-91. I grew up around it and I find it nostalgic and familiar. It's not my favourite Pepsi logo though, that would be the 1940s logo which is rounder and more closely resembles the coca-cola logo. I also used to build project guitars and amplifiers and used this pepsi logo as the inspiration for album artwork a few years back.
I haven't worn that tshirt in a while. I will think of you when I find it though 👍
Keep drinking that hooch, and instead of a Baritone, you'll be playing a harp up in the clouds. Ya, ya, I know. It's yummy.@@SouthernUkuleleStore
IT'S NOT UKALAYLEE. It's ooo koo lei lei (ukulele). Please stop damaging the Hawaiian language.
I have discussed this subject at length with the folks at Kanile'a, Kamaka and KoAloha over the past 15 years. It has been called a 'Yookoolaylee' in the UK and beyond for about a hundred years, way beyond the invention of the internet or even TV and radio.
Whilst I am truly sorry you feel that I am damaging your native language, I can't help but feel inauthentic if I force myself to sound out my vowels in line with the native dialect with which the word Ukulele originated. If I were to pronounce Paris as 'Paree' to a Frenchman or call Germany 'Deutschland' in the natural flow of a sentence with my own regional dialog, pronounciations and sensibilities they might think I was a being sarcastic.
I am doing as much as I can to keep Ukulele/Yookoolaylee culture alive. Please don't take the pronounciation of a word as a slant against a language or culture when in truth our joint love of the Ukulele around the world only enriches and enhances the legacys of some fantastic companies like Kamaka, KoAloha, Ana'Ole and Kanile'a... All of which are words/brands I do prounounce to the best of my ability with your regional tongue and vowel inflections.
