Hi there, I just got this ukulele for myself, thank you so much for giving me the desire to try it and the inspiration to play it ! Love how this sounds
By any chance are you familiar with Kala's 8 string baritone ukulele? (The KA-SCAC-B8). If you are familiar with it, how would say the Baton Rouge V2-B8 compares to it?
Someone asked this is an earlier comment and I replied: the Kala is more polished. And it looks much better. It's better quality. But... sound wise I am just as happy this this one. And to be honest, I'd prefer paying the price of this one too!
You play beautifully! I was considering an 8 string baritone or tenor ukulele to relieve my hands from the years of playing mandolin, but watching you play, I can see the hand strength required to play simple chords on an 8 string bari…never mind the bar chords….think I’ll just plug away at the mandolin.
Thank you and yes, I don't think an 8 string would give you much of a rest! A tenor ukulele could work (Uma tenor ukes I can make particularly comfortable). But yes, 8-strings always tricky. Mind you, I can't manage a mandolin AT ALL!

Yo! If you want some thick butter on your acoustic bread here you have a willing workhorse 🐴 to help you achieve exactly that! I have a 6-string tenor out of that serie, a V2-T6 Sun. I recently recorded with it: FAT! Baton Rouge is a reliable, much overlooked brand! 📌 Some advice: in order to not hurt yourself or walk away w/ a ligament condition of any sort, start out slowly an gradually build up some strength. In both forearms/hands really!
Thanks for this video. How does this compare with Baton Rouge's other 8-string baritone: the VX1/B8 charcoal? Are they basically the same instrument, or are the woods different? Which of the two do you prefer, if you had to choose between them?
Yes, most aspects are the same. The charcoal on has been discontinued - so soon there'll be no choice. I would say it's a situation where it is OK to choose the one you like the look of most.
Now you're asking, I don't know my baritone chords! But consulting a chart... G, then G adding on the 5th fret on the E, D, then D adding the 3rd fret on the E, C, Am, Em, then Em adding the third fret on the E string, I think.

Great demo! How do you like this Baton Rogue vs the Kala KA-SCAC-B8 you also demoed?

It sounds beautiful.
Thank you for the demo! It's an amazing instrument.
Brilliant for the price, yes. I'm planning a video where I choose what ukulele I'd buy at certain price brackets. This would be the sub £100 one!

Yes, I always think 'good value, with no frills'. But who needs frills as long as it is good value!
@@WorldofUkes there!

Love the demo. May I be cheeky and ask what chord progression you are playing?

Thanks Matt, much appreciated! @@WorldofUkes
