- JMJohn M.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 year agoThis Ukulele looks and sounds awesome
I bought this Ukulele from a large music store on line. This ukulele sounds wonderful. The tone from the Cedar is mellow and clear. The Trembisi back and sides are stunning in appearance - way better than what the pictures show. As far as I am concerned, this is the best of my 3 Kala baritones - I also own a KA-SA-B and a KA-SSEBY-B-CE. I love all my baritones - but this one is special. Note that the pictures were taken by the company that sold me the ukulele.

Beautiful ukulele. Sounds it amazing.
- EEveVerified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 year agoAwesome!
I love this ukulele. It's beautiful, comfortable and sounds great. I'm trying to get back to the guitar after a very long break. The baritone is really helpful with that. But it's fantastic in it's own right. I play it regularly with my local ukulele group.
- PHPatrice H.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 year agoBeautiful!!
This is one of the very best of the best instruments to join a collection of beautiful instruments! The tone of the Baritone if deep and mellow, if you are looking for Tiny Tim's uke, this is NOT your uke! I love the cutaway, it fits me perfectly, and the glossy wood is so beautiful in all it's different shades. My fingers USED to wrap around a D-18 Martin fret board but no longer want to make that stretch. The All Solid Cedar Top Trembesi Metropolitan™ Baritone Cutaway is basically the last four strings of a guitar, with a smaller body than a guitar but not as small as a standard uke. Given all that, it's really the TONE that brings it all together. If you don't believe me, watch Boris on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWFAs_spJ1o
