This is an excellent video for any buyer to listen to because it addresses most of the areas to consider. Although El Maestro, Bueno Chen, would also carefully consider the intonation as a major purchasing factor, and Ryrod mentions this at the 9:30 minute mark, it is a detailed review of the product and he gives some outstanding sound samples. He has a point about this being a "banger" to travel with but I prefer the 1960's solid mahogany variations that can be found at reasonable prices via eBay.
I hope to hear more bari-uke from Ryan in the future . . .
Man ...somebody get that guy a good bari. He plays like a pro.
ReplyDeleteYes, You never know what you may come across in these videos. Here's an all-star player with a card-board bari. Well, look on the bright side, he can work on his skills for ukulele set-ups on a cheap uke and has given everyone a clear assessment. It is also proof that skilled hands can make any uke sound better.
