I’m kicking around the idea of buying a ukulele. I’ve more or less settled on a baritone ukulele. My idea is that, with a baritone ukulele, all of my experience playing guitar with chord shapes and scales and everything will transfer over. Plus my state has a ukulele group that does biweekly stromalongs. I figure if I show up to those with a baritone ukulele then I’ll be able to do the baseline of the songs and actually add something to the group that it probably doesn’t already have.
But then part of me thinks that I should just get a regular ukulele, like a tenor ukulele, and actually play ukulele rather than play a guitar that shrunk in the dryer.
What do you guys think? Is there a good reason to go with the regular ukulele rather than a baritone?
