OMG! Baritone uke for $15 USD!
Yep, it's true.
I found out about http://rhythmband.com from this thread below:

And on the CLEARANCE PAGE, is this:

Now I dunno what kind of quality it is but I'd bet it's NOT even comparable to a Kala KA-B, or Lanikai LU21-B...
but EVEN if it requires lots of setup, for a poor person who is handy with tools, this just might be a way to get started on the baritone.
I'd advise and expect, right off the bat that the strings need to be replaced either with Martin M630, D'Addario EJ87B or Aquila Nylgut, so you can figure another $6 for strings.
When I put it in my cart, and added the shipping to NJ, there was a $9 charge on top of the $15 sale price.
So $24 for a bariitone. This is STILL cheaper than the Rogue baritone from Musicians Friend for $35 w/free shipping if/when they have it in stock.
I'm tempted. Price is low enough that if it's not playable, it's worth the time either for a full setup, or to hack on it for my deranged musical instrument experiments....
But I've got no experience with nor ever heard of this vendor before.
What say the Hive Mind on UU?
EDIT: I should mention that I am posting this here for everyone else.
I do NOT need another baritone. I already have 4 baritones, all in different tunings, all decent enough and play great after doing the setup work myself where needed.
