Does a baritone ukulele sound like a guitar?
The baritone ukulele is going to sound very similar to a classical guitar. It has the same tuning as the top four strings on a guitar and nylon strings. The smaller body and shorter scale length of the baritone ukulele make it less loud and full than a classical guitar. A tenor uke has a longer neck and a shorter body length than a standard upright.
Tenors tend to be a bit heavier than baritones because they have longer necks and longer bodies. They also have a wider range of tuning options, which means that they can be played in a variety of different tunings. Baritone ukes, on the other hand, have shorter necks, shorter bodies, and narrower tuning ranges than tenors. Because of this, they are more suited to playing jazz, blues, or country music.
