Which of these baritone-tuned ukes do you like best ? (21" 20" 17" scales)
I've got 3 ukes in standard baritone tuning. Two are baritones, one is a tenor.
Each is quite different and sounds excellent to me. Which uke's sound do you prefer? The tenor can be the quieter of the 3 when picked, but has some nice brightness to the sound. It is an excellent strummer, and an easy player. The real baritones have bit richer/broader (guitar-like) tone.
1) Pono EBSH-PC spruce/ebony, Martin FC strings. 20-inch scale

2) Talsma Honduran mahogany, Aquila Lava strings, 21 inch scale

3) Boat Paddle ML cedar/narra, SouthCoast Heavy strings, 17-inch scale

Here's a pic of the 3 together.
