I go to Jake Wildwood's site, Antebellum Instruments, regularly because he obtains old instruments and returns them to beauty and playability. He then takes a series of photographs and chronicles some history. He also plays each instrument and makes a YT video. Quite a treat. This morning I thought, what about Jake? He must have come across a baritone ukulele sometime although the baritone doesn't quite fit the late 1800's to early 1900's era.

Jake says, "I simply had to make a cut for you all on this baritone uke before it hits the rack and finds a new home. This is a c.1960s Japanese-built all-solid baritone under the "Carmencita" brand. Back and sides and neck of somewhat flamed Japanese maple, nice spruce top, and checker binding around the soundhole and top. It's sort of a typical import baritone from the time with the exception of the nice solid woods... and the tone... oh my. This thing projects very well and sounds like a decent quality classical guitar."
