Mitchell MUB70S Baritone Ukulele Review

The Mitchell MUB70S baritone ukulele features traditional tone woods normally found on classical guitars. It’s a great option for folks looking to move over to the guitar later on, or for current guitarists looking to transition to the ukulele. It’s available exclusively at the Guitar Center.

Amigo, Josh! This is great! Looks amazing and everything you play becomes pure art! ❤ Big hug!

[@Josh.Vanjani]

Thanks, Karlos! I appreciate the consistent support!

[@eagertoeatasmr]

Sounds like a good quality uke!
I recently took mine out, but I unfortunately forgot the chords that I learned back then.

[@Josh.Vanjani]

Thanks, Mette! It'll hopefully come back to you soon! The baritone is good crossover for learning guitar because the chord shapes are the same, so perhaps that might be a good option for you to try sometime too.

[@florentintise]

Great looking instrument.
Great review.

[@Josh.Vanjani]

Thanks, Florentin! I appreciate your consistent support!

[@wolfunplugged]

thanks for that detailed presentation, a very nice looking instrument, very well played!

[@Josh.Vanjani]

Thanks, Wolf! I appreciate it!

[@Toddlane43]

Beautiful looking instrument and nice shirt!!

[@Josh.Vanjani]

Thanks, Todd! Since the ukulele is a Hawaiian instrument, I felt I should wear a Hawaiian shirt. Indeed; this is definitely beautifully designed with features usually found on a more expensive instrument.

[@novaswijaya]

Great sharing dear friend.. really enjoyed, thank you

[@Josh.Vanjani]

Thanks, Nova! Glad you enjoyed!

[@JustinHatt1]

Nice job Josh. Good review and demo. The instrument is aesthetically pleasing.

[@Josh.Vanjani]

Thanks, Justin! I agree, the aesthetics were the main reason I chose this specific model, I couldn't find a similarly priced baritone with the same tonewoods and design.

[@JohnGSoloGuitar]

Fantastic review and demonstration What a great looking Ukulele Cool 🎸

[@Josh.Vanjani]

Thanks, John! I appreciate it! I bet you'd enjoy playing a baritone too, especially out in California.

[@BradConroy_guitar]

Very informative, sir!

[@Josh.Vanjani]

Thanks, Brad! I appreciate it! I bet you'd like playing a baritone, it's similar to a classical.

[@Nylon_and_Gut-MatteoLaurenzi]

Very intresting. Thx!!!

[@Josh.Vanjani]

Thanks, Matteo! I appreciate it!

[@bobvanjani9784]

Very beautiful ukulele and awesome review 😎!

[@Josh.Vanjani]

Thanks, Dad! I appreciate it!

[@randywalker1925]

I bought one a couple of years ago I love it❤😊

[@Josh.Vanjani]

Thanks, Randy! I really like this ukulele too. I'll have to do some more pieces with it soon. If you upload a video of yourself playing it, drop me a line and I'll check it out.

[@tomasericsson8720]

Looks really beautiful! It's an interesting option for sure for all classical guitar players if you want to learn another instrument. 😎

[@Josh.Vanjani]

Thanks, Tomas! I agree that it's a great crossover instrument. I'm hoping to use it for future Bach ukulele duets by Rob MacKillop.

[@GarySheehanMusic]

Excellent review Josh. Nice to hear a baritone uke. Not usual I hear one.

[@Josh.Vanjani]

Thanks, Gary! Indeed, the baritone seems to take the back burner to the other sizes. To me, it seems like the most logical size for guitarists to try, since the tuning is familiar. I bet you'd enjoy playing one too, especially since you do a lot of popular songs.

[@Stefano.Pierini]

Very beautiful! Thanks for share your informations and congratulations by Stefano 👏👍

[@Josh.Vanjani]

Thanks, Stefano! Glad you enjoyed!

[@deeman524]

I have the same exact model and i love it, I actually got mine for 115$ (plus tax) at guitar center over 5 years ago

[@Josh.Vanjani]

Awesome, that's great to hear! It's a great quality instrument for the price. Thanks for watching!

[@jmanned]

Thanks for the review, I just started playing with a tenor about a month or so ago and really wanted to get a baritone for a richer sound. Just so happens that the Mitchell is on sale at Guitar Center for about $140 so going to pick it up today.
Pretty cool background on the song demo, definitely getting those Renaissance/medieval vibes!

[@Josh.Vanjani]

Thanks, J Man! I also bought mine on sale too. $140 is also a good deal for what you get from this model. One thing to note is the tuning will be DGBE as opposed to the tenor's GCEA tuning. If you play guitar, it's the same tuning. You can also reuse guitar strings on the baritone (which I didn't know when I filmed this). I strung up my Mitchell with the gut strings I had on my Ramirez and it worked fine. I recently uploaded an arrangement of Chopin on this ukulele with those strings, if you'd like to check it out. Drop me a line after you get yours and let me know how you like it. Happy playing!

[@jmanned]

@@Josh.VanjaniThanks for the tips! I listened to you Chopin piece the other day and it sounded really nice, great sound. I just started playing some tabs on the baritone last night, it was a lot of fun. I guess the two top strings are made from silver and aluminum, which is different than my tenor.. I wasn't sure if that was right, but confirmed on the Aquila site (thanks for finding the manufacturer, that was helpful in finding out more details about the strings).

[@Josh.Vanjani]

@@jmanned For a baritone it is normal. These Mitchell were supposedly originally strung up with Aquila nylgut strings, which have 2 wound strings like yours. It seems mine must've been restrung at Guitar Center and that's why I had the 3 nylon. I went to the GC here in Virginia last week and the G was broken on a baritone there because someone apparently tried to use GCEA tuning. If you prefer the nylon feel, you can substitute a single nylon string for the G.

[@Huneysbunch]

Bro you got down with that Renaissance music

[@Josh.Vanjani]

Thanks, Martin! I have a few other Renaissance pieces in my ukulele playlist too. This specific model seems to be well suited to that type of music.

[@Huneysbunch]

Thank you buddy I'll check them out

[@violaoquetoca]

Muiro bom👍
