Luis shared a note with me that he got from Andrew about this instrument. Andrew stated " Kalei was really impressed too. Said it was the best sounding baritone he played"

Amazing praise from such a highly skilled musician who has played a lot of world class ukuleles.

Bill came for a visit to see me and I took him up to meet Luis. As always Luis was very gracious and generous with his time, we had a ball. Luis explained his whole design concept for this baritone ukulele to us. He wanted to start with a scale length long enough to use classical guitar strings. He then contacted Pyramid strings and picked their brains. He basically engineered and designed everything from the ground up to achieve the goal of making this baritone ukulele sound like a classical guitar.

I think the sound sample proves he achieved his goal. Luis is excited about building more of these and pushing the "tone envelope" of baritone ukuleles.
