”Deep Honeyed Tone at Bargain Price”

There is nothing like the rich, honeyed tones of a baritone uke like the Oscar Schmidt OU53S Baritone Ukulele to make you appreciate just how lovely a ukulele can sound. While traditional sized ukuleles tend toward a rather small sound, the larger size and length of a baritone uke produce a far larger and more full-bodied sound that any musician will be able to appreciate.

The longest and largest instrument of the ukulele family, this baritone ukulele is made with a select spruce top and rosewood back and sides, giving it a rich resonance and a warm, honeyed tone that is surprisingly deep and silky and will have you smiling every time you hear it play. But not only is the instrument lovely to listen to, it’s also lovely to look at.

With the smooth body binding and the abalone inlays on the top you will be surprised at the fact that this lovely instrument is just ~$299. Mind you, you are going to want to protect your instrument with a Featherweight Baritone Ukulele Case for just ~$44 extra. In fact, this is such a good quality instrument that you are going to fall in love with it and chances are that it will quickly become your favorite instrument of all.

With this larger sized body even those individuals with larger hands will be able to play a ukulele without having to twist their fingers into the tiny frets of the soprano or concert sized ukes. The downside of course is that these larger instruments are not as portable as the smaller sized instruments. It can be harder to carry a baritone ukulele with you when you go camping or are flying off to your next destination.

No matter what way you slice it, the Oscar Schmidt OU53S Baritone Ukulele is definitely a great choice for a warm, rich sounding ukulele that will be a joy to own and even more exciting to play.
