Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The Baton Rouge V2-SL Sun is a surprisingly capable little uke for the money. The longneck makes it feel more familiar to guitar players, and the Aquila Nylgut strings give it a sweet, clear voice. This is a great starter uke or a reliable travel instrument for someone wanting a warm, traditional tone.

Frequently Asked Questions
The longer scale provides more space between frets, easing chord transitions and making barre chords easier, especially for those with larger hands.
It’s not a *major* problem, but you'll want to be mindful of humidity; a case or occasional wipe-down will help prevent any finish issues.
The mahogany construction lends a warmer, more mellow tone than many entry-level ukuleles, which often use spruce tops. It's a more traditional Hawaiian sound.
