It seems like there is a lot of purism around the ukulele. Some people may not consider anything bigger than a soprano to be an uke. Or others may bet set that the uke must have a high g, or standard tuning. I'm sure a lot of these comments are jokes but as a musician it baffles me. A baritone uke is just as much of an uke as a soprano. They may sound different but they both are ukuleles. Just as a singer that sings high is just as much of a singer as one that sings low. Don't get me wrong, I love the bright warm sounds of sopranos, but I also love the rich, deep sound you get from a baritone. I don't know if I feel this way because I play multiple instruments, such as guitar, piano, drums ect... but heres my question. What defines an ukulele? Is it tuning, is it size, what makes an ukulele an ukulele to you?
