PHOTO: Smyrna5 with Henshaw Baritone Ukulele

Smyrna5 is known as SweetWaterBlue on the Ukulele Underground. He recently sent me this photo of himself with a Henshaw. These ukes have a brass plate logo on the headstock. I have a Maxwell Bari that looks much like this Henshaw but just an ugly decal. Thanks for sharing the photo with us. PS, that's a great Bari playin' hat too.

Smyrna5 shared this video with us at Humble Baritonics, your all things Baritone Ukulele source. This is a Baritone that I haven't ever seen before. Love that brass plate label. Smyrna5 also goes by the name SweetWaterBlue on Ukulele Underground. So, this begs the question, who was Bobby Henshaw? He was known as Bobby "Uke" Henshaw and was another Vaudevillean. If you want to know more, take a look at this link...

Note: If this is the first blog post on ukulele that you've ever read, or if you're new, the two places that are the most highly respected are:

• UKULELE HUNT http://www.ukulelehunt.com/
• UKULELE UNDERGROUND http://www.ukuleleunderground.com/

They are both focused on a standard tuned ukulele GCEA whereas most Baritone Ukuleles are tuned DGBE jist like the high 4 strings on a standard guitar. But every technique can be applied to playing any ukulele. Ukulele Hunt has actually given the Baritone some love by posting some baritone ukulele tablature.

Thank you smyrna for sharing a Beautiful-Bari and helping HB share a little Bari-history.
