Baton Rouge V2-B sun Baritone Ukulele
The Baton Rouge V2-B sun delivers a warm, resonant baritone voice with the comfort and responsiveness of its arched mahogany body and carefully dimensioned neck. This instrument balances traditional ukulele playability with the deeper tonal range that makes baritone models appealing to players seeking richer harmonic content. The natural satin open pore finish reveals the wood character while the lasered sun rosette adds visual distinction without sacrificing acoustic clarity.
Playability & Construction
The 510mm scale length and 39mm neck width at nut sit comfortably in the hand across a range of grip styles and finger reaches. NATO neck and walnut fingerboard and bridge offer the stability and durability demanded by working musicians, while the 18 frets give you solid range for melody work and chord voicings typical of baritone repertoire.
Tone & Materials
The mahogany body with arched back design projects warmth and volume, essential characteristics for a baritone that cuts through in ensemble settings without harshness. Aquila Nylgut strings deliver the bright, punchy attack the baritone register demands, while the Nubone nut and saddle ensure consistent tone transfer and tuning stability across the fingerboard.
