" The mahogany baritone is stunning. It's incredibly resonant and pretty loud, and I like the tone that comes from combining the coursed strings of a six-string with the mellowness of mahogany as a tonewood. I'm very happy with it. Thanks again top you, Char, Aaron and the other people whose hands touched this instrument. It's another wonderful ukulele that doubles as a piece of art!"
