Baritone Ukuleles

Baritone ukuleles are the largest and most resonant members of the ukulele family, known for their warm, deep, and mellow tone. Measuring around 30″ (76cm), baritones are distinct in both size and sound. Unlike smaller ukuleles, baritones are tuned D-G-B-E, which is the same tuning as the top four strings on a guitar. Often, the low D string is wound, giving the instrument a rich, bass-heavy sound.

Transitioning from a GCEA-tuned ukulele to a baritone may seem challenging, but it’s easier than you might think. The skills you’ve gained from playing other ukuleles are fully transferable. While the tuning is different, the intervals between the strings remain the same, meaning all the chord shapes you’re used to will still apply. For example, the shape you use for a G on a soprano, concert, or tenor ukulele will become a D on a baritone. So, it’s easy to get started and enjoy a new range of sounds without needing to relearn everything!
