Just received a new-to-me Gary Creed "Creedy" Spruce & Black Walnut baritone built by Gary Creed. It has an exceptionally clear and even voice, with some nice depth and resonance. The tone and volume are really outstanding (10/10). The neck has gorgeous curly maple and black walnut boards. This came with a nice passive pickup and has a good Tru-oil finish.
The baritone is well made, very smooth neck and body. But it's not a perfect build (9/10), hand made by a craftsman. The neck is a bit on the thick side but has a comfortable flat-ish profile.
For the prices Gary charges, his ukes are a bargain. I'd definitely recommend his instruments based on this uke. You can find more info about his instruments on facebook, look for CREED,s Work Shop.
Here's an initial sound sample in baritone tuning a step down (C# instead D).

Also did a sound sample in proper DGBE tuning:
