A very good uke at any price
I was fortunate to try this Baritone Ukulele at your Rockville branch recently.I am a solo uke(and guitar ) player,so I am very particular about instruments particularly ukes which are often churned out with the probable assumption that 'the kid will never get to play it anyway....' Well,not THIS instrument.The intonation was perfect,the sound much louder and sweeter than I expected and playability was excellent.I usually play on a tenor uke,so this was a slight struggle because of the scale length,but that was not the uke's fault. At the price it is a bargain,but at recommended price it is hard to beat

Fair instrument, some problems
This is not a bad little baritone. It sounds pretty, certainly not overwhelming, and is physically beautiful. However, it has some problems. The worst was a persistent buzzing on the B string at the lower frets that I did not hear in the noisy Guitar Center store but was impossible to ignore once I got it home. I had to take this uke to a good luthier to fix - at first he thought it was a lost cause, but he did succeed in losing the buzz and now I do enjoy playing it. But that should not happen with an instrument that is set up properly, and these are not. So buyer beware. Otherwise this uke has a sweet sound and is quite pleasant, but as to sound volume I differ from the other reviews here. The sound is not loud, especially in comparison to other baritones, and especially considering it is supposed to have a solid spruce top. There is no way from the sound that you would know the top is solid spruce. I have a $100 Kala mahogany laminate that has a much bigger sound than this. Still, this Mitchell is a good basic instrument with a sweet guitar-like sound, and since the buzzing disappeared I've spent many enjoyable hours with it. I would use it more for practice than performance. Fun to play, but for the money there are definitely better options out there. There is probably a reason why one generally doesn't hear Mitchell mentioned as one of the top ukulele brands.

My first Mitchell was a concert that I purchased from GC about 10+ years ago. I use it to practice and perform. I purchased a Mitchell tenor a couple of years ago for a better tone, and I was not disappointed! Since I also play guitar, I wanted to broaden my horizons with a baritone, since it's tuned the same as guitar. Again, sounds great! Great value, great sound--who could ask for more? When asked by other uke players or beginners-I tell them get to Guitar Center, try a few out, and be pleasantly surprised at the quality that Mitchell has to ffer!
My first baritone ukelele

This is my first baritone ukelele and I've been pretty happy with it. Mine was a floor model and a string broke not long after purchase, but I put some nicer strings on it. Sounds nice, I really like how it sounds when fingerpicking, very guitar like. The baritone has a nice gloss finish. Seems like a great value, especially when on sale.
Absolutely beautiful tone . I literally love it

This uke changed me after 20 years of playing guitar. I hit a plateau and this little guy turned it around and then some. Its tone is outrageously beautiful. Fretting this is gliding across buttered glass. It is not a novelty it can boost your guitar playing and progression writing

This Uke has a good tone. Finished well with a usable setup of the shelf. However there was some pretty sharp fret spurs and the stings were not usable. Had to file the frets and replace the strings. I will say at the price point those issues were acceptable.
A Really Neat Instrument, and a Steal at this Price

bySegovia Wanna Be

I had been researching baritone ukes for some time when Guitar Center put this one on sale. I play Classical guitar, and wanted to acquire a uke in order to play Baroque guitar pieces on a four-stringed instrument. I have not been at all disappointed with the Mitchell. Quite the opposite--I love this uke! Guitar Center had already replaced the strings when I bought it, so the tone was very nice from the get-go. And I have had no trouble with buzzing at the second fret, which I'd read could be problem with the Mitchell. I have literally no complaints about this instrument: It's beautiful, sounds terrific, and seems quite well made. I've been learning Bach's first cello suite since day one, and it sounds great. I've also picked up a little bit of mandolin music, which was an added bonus. For quality-to-price ratio, I think this one is hard to beat. I recommend it highly. For those with large fingers--like mine--I'd also recommend ball-end strings: It's a smaller instruments than the guitar, and these will facilitate restringing.

Hi one of my strings broke on this baritone and I am wondering what replacement strings you would recommend that would be appropriate for this instrument… I will be happy to purchase it here and have it shipped to my place and then bring it to my local Guitar Center to have them install the strings… Anyway thank you so much

I will likely buy this product. After reading the comments by owners, I would like to have whatever unit is sent to me be I praise by a musician to assure that none of the strings for vibrate. Also, I would like recommendations as to what set of strings I should get as backups. Also, I want to get a protective cover, and what else you think I might need. Are these items possibly arranged? Thank you.
Thank you for your question. I will have a product specialist contact you.submitted2 years ago

Hello, does this sweet baritone ukelele have a truss rod in the neck? My cheaper Makala does have one. I don't see any mention of adjustable rod for this one. Does it have one? and if so where is the access?
It does not.
