I have experimented with a pick on the baritone only sporadically. Playing the low tuned baritone ukulele among several high-G tuned ukuleles can make the bari sound a bit muted. A pick may bring a bit more pop in these conditions. I have also been a fan/reader of flatpick guitar magazine which is all about picking even though I try a pick only rarely. I try the tunes fingerstyle.
Below is a link to the pick advice of a premier ukulele enthusiast, Alistair Wood, from a recent post on Ukulele Hunt.

Thanks very much, Jeff!
ReplyDeleteStopped using picks, HU. Too loud here in the senior complex.
ReplyDeleteNew minimal style of down strokes with thumb. Nice sound on the bari.
