Roosebeck Baritone Baroque Ukulele (Bowl Back, Friction Tuners, Padded Nylon Case)

This Roosebeck "Baroq-Ulele" Baroque Baritone Ukulele is based upon a 480mm (19 inches) scale. It features a European spruce soundboard with a four-point rosette design taken from a 17th century lute. The back is a round-back or bowl shape made of staves of sheesham. The neck is solid sheesham and features a nut width of 36mm (1 7/16 inch) with a cattle-bone nut. This instrument is outfitted with standard friction ukulele tuners. The tension on each friction tuner can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the screw on the top of the tuner. The bridge, also made of sheesham , incorporates a genuine cattle-bone saddle. An end-pin strap button is standard. Overall size: 30 x 7.5 w x 4 inches. Padded Nylon Case Included. Free Shipping.

Bowl-back ukuleles have a rounded, bowl-shaped back, which gives them a distinct look and sound compared to the standard ukuleles with a flat or slightly arched back. The bowl-back design results in a warmer, somewhat mellower tone compared to the brighter sound of flat-backed ukuleles. The bowl-back construction also allows for more resonance and projection, making them suitable for different playing styles, and appreciated for their unique aesthetic and sound characteristics.
