does the Oscar Schmidt OU53 Baritone Ukulele have a solid top. anybody have one, or another size. Impressions?
yea, I really like the Lanaiki and Kala spruce tops. thought the OS would be similar. lot of bang for the buck. just wasn't sure as it's described as "select spruce top", a little vague. thanks
I've had one of these for 5 years. It's the only spruce baritone I've ever played, so I've got no comparison point. Here's a video of me playing it a few days ago. You'll probably hear a lot of "snapping." I don't think it did that when it was new- that's probably a result of me failing to humidify it, and, at a different point, leaving it with no strings for way too long.
After some research, I'm pretty sure that the OU53 is a laminated spruce top but the OU53S is solid.
