I posted a review on Youtube. I bought a Kala KA-FMB and a few days later I bought Living Water low D baritone strings. I did a review of both.
To sum it up:
1) The uke is one of the brightest and loudest baritones out there and it looks really cool. It also, to my ears, has a more compressed sound than other baritones, with the highs and the lows sounding closer together than on a typical mahogany bari.
2) The strings are great. I've never been crazy about wound strings, so I love the unwound D and G. In general, the Living Water strings seem to lend themselves to playing scales, melodies, and glissandos more than other strings do. They sound great for rhythm, too.
For examples of all those things, watch the video below:
