Thank you. I learned a lot by listening to you, about what to look for when purchasing a ukulele
Happy to help! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I can appreciate a thorough review like this but I would like to hear a playing demo a little sooner in the video.
That's great advice! Actually, you did. The intro is a sound sample of the instrument. I'll make it a point to give a taste of the sound earlier in the videos in the future. Thanks for viewing and commenting!
or you can skip to it and be glad he did it at all 😳😳
i just ordered one very similar and thank you for making this!!
You are welcome! I'm glad you found this useful! Which one did you order? I have seen Cordoba makes one that is very similar.
I just ordered this a couple of days ago from Amazon. This will be my 3rd Kmise brand ukulele, but my first Baritone strung DGBE. The first baritone was from Kmise, but it was strung GCEA, and it is a great one. I loved it so much I ordered one for my son. But hopefully, I'll learn guitar by having this ukulele. I enjoyed watching this video. :)
Thanks for your comment! I’m glad you found the review helpful! I have some others you might find useful.
Nice and thorough review. It seems like good, basic baritone for a very affordable price.
Thanks! I have been impressed at the value you get from Kmise's instruments. At the price point of these instruments, they are great deals.
I just got mine delivered. This insturment has such delightful tone. I look forward to playing it for many years to come. Thanks for your helpful reviews!
Great to hear! I'm glad you find the reviews helpful!
Your reviews are so great and helpful.
I'm glad you find them useful. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@stevesstrings5243 Ukulele Aqcuisition Syndrome is... contagious ?
@@MountainHomeJerrel Yes, it is!
@@stevesstrings5243 Aggh!!! You got me! I ordered this Baritone Ukulele.
@@MountainHomeJerrel Be careful! They start piling up fast, LOL!
I have a very similar Kmise baritone. It looks just like this one except that mine has white binding on the neck. Great sound. Absolutely no complaints. Awesome review.
I’m glad you are happy with yours! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Nice review! I don’t think the bridge will be an issue as it is also screwed in. I don’t look at that issue very often...something else to consider!
Kmise/Aklot seems like it is raising their bar, which is good.
I like the look of the sides of that ukulele...really nice pattern on the laminate!
I agree! For the price, you get a great instrument. This one very nice!
I ordered this, one of the main reasons being the truss rod. Very important down the road if the action gets a bit high. I have a vintage Silvertone that has this problem and there is no practical way to fix it if it doesn't have a truss rod.
You could always just use it for playing with a slide. Of course, there is always the neck reset option. Unfortunately, on less expensive instruments, it is often not worth the cost.
I think that relief is intentional. Most if not all guitars have a bit of relief built in.
It seems to play fine. Thanks for watching!
Do you think the strings could tolerate being tuned to GCEA? Love the content!
No. You would need to restring it with a gCEA set for a baritone. Aquila 23U strings are made for baritones tuned gCEA. I have a couple of baritones with gCEA string sets but I find the string tension higher than I like. I have them tuned down to EAC#F#. I can use the same chord shapes, just in a different key. I prefer the lower string tension.
I have a Kmise MI0639 high D baritone ukulele and it cost about $60.
Nice! I have seen these advertised. I thought about buying one. How do you like it? How do you think it compares to this one?
I love mine! Mine is also mahogany, but it looks different than yours, and my first impressions were: I like the look of this! I can’t wait to play it! It looks high quality! Also, mine was just the ukulele without any accessories. It also has an abalone rosette. It sounds great too!
Also, my ukulele doesn’t have a truss rod
just ordered one from Amazon. $79.95
I hope you like it!
I’m new to ukuleles but do you play the same chords on a baritone as if was a soprano
You can use the same chord shapes but they produce different chords. For example, a C chord shape on a soprano is a G chord on the baritone and a G chord shape on the soprano is a D chord on the baritone.
@@stevesstrings5243 thank you
You are welcome!
@@stevesstrings5243 good point. I just ordered it and that's what I plan on doing, playing my regular ukulele chord shapes that I already know realizing that any songs that are in the key of c on my regular ukuleles will actually be in the key of G on my baritone (if I keep the same chord shapes): ie, 5 half notes lower. But of course if I capo at the 5th fret, I'm playing my soprano ukulele again!
Sounds like a plan!
I got mine today. At first I loved it but now I am hearing lots of humming or buzzing. I am a new player to the tenor but those strings don’t hum. Do you know what the issue could be? It came with the tool to adjust something lol but no instructions. If I can’t find a solution it has to go back! Thanks 😊
See my response to your other post on the same topic. Which model of ukulele do you have? What string set is on on it? How many wound strings are on it? Tuning? String height at the 12th fret? Is the neck straight?
@@stevesstrings5243 I got the Kmise and it is strung DGBC. Not sure about the rest of your questions I am so new at this
And I didn’t get the ruler thing so I don’t know about the height I just got off with Amazon and they sending it
@@pnevlud If you got the instrument in this video, it should be tuned DGBE with the D being closest to the ceiling and the E being closest to the floor. If you have a tuner with a guitar setting use that for its 4 high strings. If you don’t have someone local who can help you sort it out, drop me an email with some times you can meet and we can meet via Zoom.
@@stevesstrings5243 thank you so much. It is the one in the video I actually asked that Amazon replace it. When I opened the box I noticed it may have been returned by someone else but was so excited I didn’t care 😂 let’s see how the next one goes and if it hummm and buzzes maybe it is operator error. Then maybe we can zoom. I am a piano player 😂 not a uke player but I’ll give it my best shot for sure!!
I just bought this model ukulele and the guy I bought it from restrung it with ukulele strings GCEA as he thought it sounded better. Have you tried that on this model?
No, I haven’t. I may have to give it a try. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@stevesstrings5243 I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on it if you do.
I have gCEA strings on my spruce-toped Kmise. I usually have it tuned down to eADbGb, which affords a lower tone and less tension on the strings. When I tune it up to gCEA, the sound seems "choked" and the string tension is high.
Which of the three do you prefer
My favorite Kmise baritone ukulele is their spruce topped instrument with rosewood sides. www.amazon.com/Kmise-Baritone-Ukulele-Mahogany-Ukelele/dp/B07F6XCJM9
