Baritone Stories by Jake Wildwood

He also likes to photograph and document his work. This one has struck my fancy since I have one of these 60's era Harmony Bari's. For more info, see...

eBAY Photo of 1950's Harmony Baritone Ukulele

This eBay Bari is rivaling Favilla asking prices.

No, It's not my sale... I just found a moderately used Harmony
Bari in a vintage case for $65 at the local flea market.
It's not quite the historic Jim Beloff find
of an old Tiny Tim uke but it'll do.

OOOOooooooh! Mike DaSilva has a Baritone Ukulele on eBay too...

John Kavanagh || Parlor Music


I was listening to a few of my ukulele CD's. I think I've had this for about three years. It may be the only album cover with a Baritone ukulele shown with the artist. The liner notes say that this CD can be downloaded at iTunes, or bought from CD Baby. I think I bought it directly from John over the internet.

"The Concept for this CD is "Parlour Music" - lightweight, charming instrumentals in the ragtime or classical vein, the sort of things people played at home for their own amusement in the days before TV." JK

The Baritone is "Hot Rodded" Spruce top on a Harmony Baritone.
