The LU-21B is the best selling Baritone Ukulele offered by Lanikai. With the attention to detail and easy playability it is easy to see why. This handcrafted ukulele is made with Nato wood (otherwise known as Eastern Mahogany) on its top back and sides. When this wood choice is paired with the Rosewood fingerboard it brings out a mellow tone with an enhanced midrange that is often missing in instruments in this price point. The LU-21B also comes stocked with die cast tuning machines geared 14/1 for easy tuning. If you have never played ukulele before get ready for a world of fun. The ukulele is an addicting instrument that can and will be taken everywhere. The standard tuning on a Soprano, Concert, and Tenor ukulele is GBEA, and on a Baritone DGBE. If you can play one ukulele you can play them all! With the easy playability, and included instruction booklet written by Mary Lou Dempler you will be playing in a matter of minutes then you’ll see why people are saying Lanikai Makes Me Happy!

The Biggest of the Small, Great value for beginner
Some product reviews :
Unlike the several smaller versions of this instrument ( the Soprano, Concert and Tenor varieties) the Baritone Uke is tuned to what we call Concert Pitch – just like the highest pitch four strings on a guitar tuned to standard tuning. Thus, unlike its smaller versions, the Baritone is chorded just like the top four strings on most guitars and is automatically easier to play because no new fingering chord positions are necessary to learn.- I wanted to learn baritone ukulele, and shopped around for find a middle of the road instrument, not too cheap, but not too expensive. For the money, this was a pretty good quality instrument to get started on. It isn’t particularly fancy, but it has good quality tuning, as others have said, and decent sound.
- The Lanakai LU-218 Baritone Uke is a well-made musical instrument, with a bright, crisp sound. The tuners hold very well, and once the strings are broken in, it requires almost no tuning to stay in tune. The action on the neck is easy. I love this instrument! Well worth the price in every way.
