I have both baritone and tenor and I love them both for different reasons. I've developed tendonitis on my right wrist, so I primarily play baritone and guitar now. Only because it's a different attack than a tenor.

if you like the change in tone and resonance in changing from re-entrant tuned high g ukulele to linear tuned (low d) baritone ukulele, you may also be interested in cuatro tuning on the baritone uke. that is a re-entrant tuning, with the 4th, 3rd, and 2nd higher and higher in pitch as in a linear (low g) ukulele, but in cuatro tuning, the 1st string is an octave lower than it would be in the linear tuning. there are even more low strings!

Really liked this session. I started playing a high g uke, moved to a low g uke, then to a baritone and now play a tenor guitar tuned DGBE…great fun!

Fantastic discussion. Looking forward to more baritone tunes.

very inspiring

[@stevecrockett6619]

Thanks Matt, very informative. Glad you brought that baritone back from Hawaii 😊

I have a few different ukes. My soprano and baritone are my go to ukes, but I love my Cook Island Uke. Tuning is very different - think Low G and Low A.

Thank you 🎶

I just got a Beansprout baritone and had it tuned low GCEA. Needs special strings but chords stay the same so no new thinking process. It gives a very full sound, much fuller than a tenor with the same low g tuning due to the greater body volume. I'm also having a hard time putting it down for the same reasons. I have high and low g tenor ukuleles that all have a different sound. At some point I will get another baritone with low d just for the variety. The 'Oli is definitely on my radar! It's great to have choices! 😀👍

Thanks so much for your analysis. i recently bought a bari, really enjoy the sound over my low g tenor but in many ways it seems like i'm starting all over. i find myself playing the tenor cords on the bari. it sounds ok unless i play along with a tenor. it's fun no matter.

[@thebumblebard]

Magical! That orig tune sounded so lovely on the baritone. 😊 Haha, and I so appreciate you reading my silly parody poem, never has pseudo-Hamlet been read with such an upbeat inflection! 😂😅 Great lesson as always! 😊

[@MrSupersidewinder]

I enjoy them both... I suppose if I could only have one it would be baritone...

[@ribrainfizz]

This is the most helpful and detailed video about the different! I’m so glad that RUclips recommended this to me :) Thank you!

How you liking yhat oli Andrew hooked u up i got a oli L2 mango high g recently Already had a low g i think they sound great plus awesome inlay on head stock side sound port really makes a difference 🏝️💪

[@stevebailey8515]

I get sympathy resonance on my ukes when I play an Am as the 4th string is now the same tuning as the 1st A string

[@turbochargedus-vz5dz]

I am curious what strings you prefer on your Kanile'a tenor high g?
