Hi all, i posted this in Uke Buying Tips a week ago but got no response.
Maybe it got buried, so I'll try posting here to see if it's more visiable.
original message below, hope i can get some feedback.
Owners of the new Marcy Marxer Ohana BK-35CG and CGE cutaway models, or people who have played and heard it, please help!
I've been searching for a solid wood cutaway baritone with a deep lush soft but clear tone and great sustain for awhile, and am really interested in this Ohana model.
anyone who owns this, have played it, give some honest opinions?
So many baris out there, i've only played a few Kalas, Ponos, Cordobas, One other Ohana, Kohala, and the really amazing Favilla. All are nice.
Please give your opinions, more in-depth review if possible, as the ones i've found online are really lacking, just surface level demos, and not quite getting deep enough into it. Any video clips I've seen so far just have strumming, but no finger-picked examples.
I'd like to add, if you are also the owners of / have played the Mainland Red Cedar Baritones, or the new Kala solid spruce / ebony cutaway baritones, and can compare those against the Ohana baritone, please share your opinions too! Greatly appreciated!
I am also considering the Mainland Red Cedar Baritone. But from what i can tell so far, for my style of playing and ear, the Ohana might be better for me. My style is fingerstyle, jazz, some classical. For Baritones, i don't usually strum, but i do finger pick single notes and chords a lot if that helps.
I just want to avoid harsh and shrill tones.
thanks so much!
