This baritone is tuned gcea, which takes a special string set. The larger body and longer scale length add some depth and power to the tone, but the higher tuning adds some sparkle. It helps that this old cedar top sounds so good, crisp and warm at the same time. The cedar is from a snag in Washington that I mean to seek out this summer to get some more of this stuff. It’s at least 200 years old. The Mastergrade walnut back and sides is Claro walnut from California. The fir neck is from a salvaged floor joist from Portland. The pistachio fretboard, headplate and bridge is from California orchards. Maple binding and bird’s foot purfling wrap it up in style!

“I am madly in love with my new Uke!
I cannot express how happy I am with every aspect of my uke. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, but the sound is down right amazing. The tone is so balanced and it resonates like a bell. Aaron’s mastery of his art is so evident every time I pick my baritone up to play. Money may not buy happiness, but it sure can buy a Beansprout Uke that will bring many years of happiness.
