I got this yesterday and moved the strings across ,discarding the high "e". and replacing low E witha 53 gauge roundwound ball end bronze.
With standard strings it would only tune like a guilele , A to a ( Tenor ,been there sold it,nice machine but messes with the head chord wise) I want standard E to e tuning. Now I don't like baritone ukes because I don't quite get them. To clarify, I don't hate them but I cut my teeth on a soprano 50 years ago and then added guitar and other instruments as I gracefully (not) aged.
So my viewpoint is that as mellow and nice as a bari sounds it's a 3/4 geetar. No basses to bounce off. This is a half size classical guitar ,about 21 inch scale and a 1 3/4 inch ish nut. So ,I believe I have the best of both worlds. Bari sized transportability,standard guitar and two bass strings. I'm like a pig in the smelly stuff. This is a recording I did for SoTU 427. A cover of Byron Ferrari (Brian Ferry) version of Amazing Grace (It's actually nowt like it his is brill
) Any pointers on geetar or choon gratefully received.
