Honu Baritone Acoustic Electric Ukulele

Size chart
Sizing Information

Soprano -Soprano is the smallest of the four ukulele body sizes and is the traditional ukulele size.  The Honu Soprano is perfect for kids learning ukulele or for adults who prefer the brighter tone of a traditional ukulele.

Concert -Concert ukuleles are currently the most popular ukulele body size worldwide.  Bigger than a soprano but smaller than a tenor, a concert uke is the perfect middle ground for most players.  This size is suitable for all ages, though small children may be better suited to a soprano.

Tenor -Tenor ukuleles are exploding in popularity thanks to the full, deep sound produced by their larger body size.  Bigger than the concert, the tenor is great for teenagers and adults that are looking for the most volume from their ukulele and extra space for their fingers on the fretboard.

Baritone -As the name suggests, a baritone ukulele is the largest and deepest sounding of all of the ukulele sizes.  Usually tuned like the highest four strings of a guitar (DGBE), rather than the GCEA tuning found on most ukes, a baritone is great if you have a background in guitar because you won't have to learn any new chord shapes.  They are also very fun if you are a ukulele player looking to experiment with a different tone.

Perfect for anyone wanting to dip their toe into the ukulele water, our Honu series was designed to provide as much instrument as we could at an entry level price.  The all sapele construction provides a warm tone, similar to that of mahogany, but the Honu is more durable and less susceptible to humidity and temperature changes than our solid top models, the Mano and Kohala.  The installed UK-500T pickup system includes a built in tuner with 3-band EQ and is powered by included lightweight CR2032 batteries.  As with all Honolua Ukuleles, it includes premium features designed to produce the best tone possible at an affordable price, including bone nut and saddle for better clarity and sustain, open back machine heads for tuning precision and eco-friendly wood selections.

The Highlights
  • Sapele top, back and sides
  • UK-500T pickup system with built-in tuner and 3-band EQ

    Honu Baritone

    Great product for the price. Nice and light to hold. Lovely colour. Lovely sound. Smooth finishes. I like that it comes with fret markings on the side of the neck. Tuners feel nice. Having just purchased this, I haven't changed strings yet but I think the pin bridge style will make string changes a lot easier than tie bridges. I'm really looking forward to getting into the baritone world with this uke!
    Only thing I think could be improved is a longer zipper opening on the gig bag. I think if you could open the bag more it'd be easier to lay the uke into it. Not a big deal though as the bag is still nice, with a little pocket on the front and a shoulder strap and carrying handle.

    I love it! (Photo includes a soprano ukulele for size comparison)

    I play the soprano Ukulele, and I was unsure whether I would like playing the baritone. I ended up buying this one, and I absolutely love it! The ukulele has a great sound for its price and I love they include a gig bag and ebook. I would also like to add that although my ukulele arrived with a small blemish, the customer support was great, and as I live in the same city as Dave, he even brought me a replacement himself!

    Well built, sounds great, amazing value - highly recommended

    And IMHO the baritone works better for some songs than a tenor or concert

    The ukulele is well put together, action is just right. The dotted bridge pins are a nice visual touch. The bowed back (a very welcome feature to improve the sound), the dressed fret ends are something I do not have on my two name brand ukuleles. The built-in tuner on my acoustic electric works great. It’s been a few weeks now, the strings are settled in; I was wailing on it yesterday at a jam and the baritone did very well staying in tune.

    An advantage I didn’t expect: “The Mary Ellen Carter”, “Sudbury Saturday Night”, etc. seem to come off better with the baritone than my tenor or concert IMHO. I also found some finger picking numbers easier on the baritone – my fingers like the wider space between frets. I’ll keep my tenor / concert for “Ukulele Lady”, “Muskrat Love”, “Diana”, and jazz numbers. But the baritone for letting loose.
