any of you know of any good baritone ukulele 's ? I have a friend who plays the guitar I told him about the baritone and he said he may give it a try .
Mainland will have two types of mahogany baritones out sometime this summer.
One of the best baritones I have played is the Ohana BK-32, solid mahogany with tortoise-shell binding. It is a sweet sounding uke with a pretty nice volume, but the fit and finish were superb. It is the best baritone uke I have had.
All I know is that it's in the same tune as a guitar.

You can pick up used Harmony solid Mahogany Baritones for a song on ebay but preferably the pre 1960 ones made in the USA the later one being Japan made, and of nice quality but from what Gather not as nice sounding.

Is your friend a good guitar player?
Because if he is pretty good, the odds are that a baritone ukulele will just bore him.

A soprano, concert or tenor OTOH will give him a whole new set of sounds to play around with. And it's not that hard to adapt if he has his guitar down pat. If he is good enough, all you need to tell him is that the ukulele is the same as the guitar capoed on the fifth fret and he should be able to figure out all the chords he needs and play melody lines on the bottom three strings.
