Frequently Asked Questions

The baritone's larger body and longer scale produce a deeper, richer tone, closer to a classical guitar, lacking the bright, higher register of a concert ukulele.
The neck profile is a standard 'C' shape, offering a comfortable feel for most hand sizes, though some players with very large hands might prefer a slightly wider neck.
It's a high-gloss finish that looks beautiful but can show fingerprints easily; a quick wipe down with a microfiber cloth resolves that. The finish is generally durable but susceptible to scratches if not handled carefully.
