The other day, a friend asked me which size ukulele I preferred. Of course I answered the Baritone. He then asked me how many Baritones did we own? And it occurred to me that I didn't actually know. So, this past weekend, I "took stock" of the Baritone Collection of The Ukulele Cowboy Society. Turns out that there are 29. Each one does get played (occasionally) All performance instruments are loaded with Southcoast Linears. I also noted the type of pickup where relevant. In addition, all are tuned GCEA with the exception of the C.F. Mountain which is tuned DGBA.
I should add that there are a couple of "Holy Grail" instruments that have not made it to my door as yet. Someday...
