Baritone ukuleles are very of the moment. More and more of our customers are adding a baritone to their collection - something about its rich warmth makes it really compelling. This new model from Pono offers all of the bass richness associated with a large baritone but with the added zing of steel strings.

Pono recently revamped and condensed their range of super Baritones such as these and the Nui series. The UL4-1 is no longer solid acacia all round, but rather a Cedar top with solid Acacia back and sides. The Cedar top is the right choice for a Baritone with steel strings; the warm and resonance that it generates in the lower registers is just absolutely stunning.

You can create a really different sound and feel with this instrument than you can with a nylon strung baritone ukulele - more akin to an acoustic guitar but without the two bass strings. But, to think of it just as a cut down guitar is to do it a disservice. It has a beautiful, bluesy character all of its own. And, when you play up the neck, you appreciate the extra glitter that the steel strings give you.

In the hand you really have to appreciate the craftsmanship of the clever guys at Pono - it is flawlessly well made. It has a very light but incredibly solid body (which is where the impressive sustain and volume come from) and the neck feels very playable and easy.

A complete winner! We fitted this one with a MiSi pickup before shipping it to the original customer, so you are gig ready. It comes with the original woodshell hard case, which is in decent condition. There is one dink to the top just by the soundhole, but otherwise this uke only has the slightest of playwear and is in very good 9/10 cosmetic order.
