My thoughts after viewing webinar recording at UU+: baritone is mostly for fingerpicking; strumming technique should be different. Because strings are longer and with less tension. And Baritone designed for linear DGBE and not for reentrant dGBE. Main goal is "deep tones" so it is DGBE. Here we go: most Baritone players just use the same tunes / strums as for Soprano for instance, and it doesn't work well.
I just ordered Kala KA-ABP-CTG Baritone with Cedar top, mostly for fingerpicking and mellow tones, and for fun.
From Kimo Hussey oldest video, with Baritone you have more opportunity for fretting hand, better to explore whole freatboard, easier to learn three shapes of the same chord.
I also want Baritone with linear DGBE because 2+ octaves between 1st and 4th strings. I want to learn some songs but some notes do not fit smaller range of reentrant gCEA (of course I can try GCEA for that but I don't want)
Many people believe "you can play the same song which you learned for Tenor-Soprano, just in a different key" - I disagree, it is hype, it won't sound nice. And some strumming patterns won't work at all. Sustain is different, dynamic range. Strings are longer
