After inadvertently dissing our baritone loving brethren by leaving the baritone off a poll I created a few months, I figured I'd try to make amends by sharing this post from Jake's FB posting last night:
...Going to change my strings now before going to bed. I'm using three ukuleles in the new show! I have 2 Kamaka tenors and a Kamaka baritone that's over forty years old! I'm using my newest tenor for most of the songs. But I switch to my old tenor for Blue Roses Falling and the electric set. Then I switch over to the baritone for a few songs. I love playing the baritone. There's such a richness to the tone. I guess after forty years, the instrument is so "broken in" that every note just sings. Anyway, I love it all...
