Thanks Dave. Great direct comparison.
Your UL4 sounded good in either nylon or steel strings, but I definitely prefer the steel strings on it.
Ditto!
Thanks again for doing this!

When does the strip tease end and you post the true identity of Uke 1, 2 or 3?
Lol
...
I will do the big reveal tomorrow morning. That way people in Europe, the west coast, Australia etc still have a chance to make a guess.
As a hint the two baritones were a Kamaka and a Pono with Spruce top and mahogany back and sides. See if you can guess which is #1, #2 & #3
...
The second sample is a blind shoot out. We have the Pono UL4-20 and two normal baritone ukuleles. All three are strung linear with wound 4th and 3rd and florocarbon 2nd & 1st strings.
See if you can identify the supposedly poor, weak sounding 'Tenor Guitar with Nylons", compared to the proper big brawny baritones. Recorded raw and unedited on my Samsung Galaxy S4 phone

Eddie your wish is my command. Back in June I sent Patrick a recording of the UL4-20 strung with medium heavy gauge Elixrs. That piece was Hotel California. We are all gonna get sick of this song but it was what I did for Patrick in June, so sorry I have just recorded another sample with the fluorocarbons, playing the same length of time as the prior steel string sample.
