The elegant, Solid Spruce Top Striped Ebony Baritone has everything: excellent tonewoods, well thought out appointments, ornate herringbone rosette, and purfling framed in Mahogany binding ? to give it that extra something, something. Spruce is known for clarity and is consistent, balanced, and has great response, while Ebony provides a strong bass presence and responsive highs for a well-rounded sound profile. This ukulele has a broad dynamic range that works well for both strumming and fingerpicking. The baritone model comes with a rounded, smooth Venetian cutaway and Fishman? Kula preamp.
