I received my konablaster baritone uke today which only took 4 days to arrive. First off I will say elderly instruments is amazing in terms of quality and customer service they were a real pleasure to deal with. Very helpful and kind people.
Anyway on to the uke itself:
first how it feels/looks
Its so sterdy!
the neck feels so solid.
Its such a unique instrument
the body is really pretty too look at !
(i have the blue one).
The carpet back is actually nice
when im playing with out a strap it holds up
securely and doesnt feel like its going to slip (although
i did request strap pegs to be added but haven't used a strap yet).
So over all its a really unique looking ukulele i could stare at the thing all day and basically drool over it
As for sound well
it sounds bright, even and beautiful!
The intonation is spot on, the frets are perfect
no buzz, perfect action etc.
I played it for about an hour messing around with various
effects (even played some metal type stuff on it for a laugh
with the distortion cranked up).
With a simple reverb or chorus (just a tad)
on clean channel this has to be one of the nicest
instruments I have ever played. Over all i was on the search
for a middle ground between an electric guitar and a ukulele (since im a much better uke player than guitarist but need electronics to make the ambient music i make) and i have to say this is the perfect instrument for me. 10/10 I recommend anyone who is looking for a solid body baritone ukulele this is THE ONE to get.
I'm considering buying the soprano model just for fun in the future and i would imagine its the same level of quality i have experienced with this uke. amazing!
