Rogue Baritone Ukulele Review

[SalPedi]

I can't get over how good this $30 Rogue uke sounds....you could have fooled me, if you said it was a $400 uke!......sounds darn good to me!..

I recently got that Baritone Ukulele, and they've updated the insert to reflect the proper string names and chord shapes. In addition, they no longer have "Made in China" plastered across the headstock (it's inside the Uke, instead).

Great review and playing, by the way.

@CommissionerG

Thanks for the update. I'm glad they made some changes.

can you make a tutorial on how to play the song you were playing at 5:35

[Ryrod]

@ActingFromTheBook

Gently Weeps? There's already a ton of tutorials out there. It works for high-g tenors or baritone.

Check out the one by HMS:

any tips on reducing the buzz from the saddle?

[Ryrod]

@MRalph1019

I'm not that good. I don't want to say something and totally screw it up. I'd say ask a luthier about it. go to the forums at ukuleleunderground(dot)com/for­um and ask in their luthier section.

[MRalph1019]

how did you change the action on this?

@MRalph1019

1)loosen the strings (don't take them all the way off)

2)remove the saddle

3) using a level sanding surface, and even pressure start sanding down the BOTTOM of the saddle, make sure you don't mess with the curve of the top. Just take a little bit off at a time to see what's comfortable for you.

What was the name of the flaminco song you played?

[Ryrod]

@MrRandomman123

I'm pretty sure it's "la malaguena". The song Antonio Banderas plays in the intro of Once upon a time in Mexico.

Such a great tone man

Nam, I think you need to skip the rogue and get like a kala or lanikai. This uke is not enough for a man of your awesome shred skills...
