The baritone ukulele was first made in the 1940s. It has the same tuning as the four highest strings on a guitar – DGBE. The scale length of my baritone is either 480mm (19″) or 515 mm (20.275”). It has a 14 fret neck, but has a well placed bridge due to the body size. Although the tuning is similar to the guitar, the sound is very ukulele, due to the tonewoods, the bracing design and voicing and my lightweight build. The baritone adds a rich low frequency envelope around a ukulele ensemble.
