My First Baritone 0 people found this helpfulHMS, as usual, delivered an excellent instrument. The intonation is excellent. The finish is perfect. I've been playing minor chord folk songs and old school jazz standards most of the afternoon, and boy does this baby enhance my meager talents. The MB is the epitome of mellow. The build is balanced, but I would still recommend using a strap. The Mahana strings are giving me the sound I was craving. After drifting from store to store, playing a wide variety of baritones (laminate, solid top, and solid wood, Kalas and Cordobas), as well as scouring YouTube for videos, I concluded the MB was by far the best choice, assuming I didn't go full bore K-brand. And yes, I ordered through HMS because I wanted the set-up.

cant go wrong with a pono from HMS 0 people found this helpfulVery beautiful, rich sound from this baritone. Nice bell like tone when finger picked and nice deep full sound when strummed. The neck is comfortable size and shape, not too chunky or slender, just right! The setup was perfect, low action and so easy to use, no sharp edges. I wasnt overly fond of the strings that came with it but I found that once I put some flourocarbon strings on it and used the aluminum wound Koolau C string from a tenor set as the G, then it really had the sound I was looking for.

Great intonation, build quality and sound and the Pono pickup is one of the most natural sounding pickups I've ever tried on a uke. 0 people found this helpfulI've owned several other baritone ukes over the years, including Lanikai and Kala which are nice sounding baritones in their own right, but this Pono MB Baritone is definitely a step up. The intonation is excellent! And this uke really resonates with a nice warm, clear tone. One area where you notice a difference between this baritone and some of the less expensive ones is when you start playing up the neck. Its easier to play bar chords up the neck on the Pono and have the notes remain clear and punchy with the intonation staying spot on. I had HMS install the Pono passive barione pickup. The sound is the most natural sounding ukulele pickup I've ever heard. This passive pickup blows away the cheap active pickups installed on my lower end ukes. I use it with a Roland AC-33 acoustic guitar amplifier and I get plenty of volume and tone with it. I'm very happy with this purchase and with the HMS setup.

Very Nice Ukulele 0 people found this helpfulI love this uke. :-) I has a nice mellow tone. Good quality, clear sound from low notes to high. The best part is the ease of play. Takes very little pressure on the fret board to get notes and chords.
