Does a baritone ukulele sound like a guitar?

Despite the fact that the baritone ukulele is tuned the same as the top four strings on a guitar, it has a very different sound. It is still much smaller than the guitar with a shorter scale length. The impact of this is it has a much more delicate, mellow sound than any guitar. The shorter scale length means that it doesn’t have so much sustain, creating a plucky, percussive sound. The nylon strings means that the baritone ukulele is closest in sound to a classical guitar.

What is the difference between a baritone and soprano ukulele?

There are four sizes of ukuleles which, from smallest to largest, are soprano, concert, tenor and baritone. This means that the soprano ukulele and baritone ukulele are on opposite ends of the spectrum. The soprano ukulele measures 21 inches from tip to tail whereas the baritone ukulele is a whopping 30 inches. The soprano ukulele, like the tenor and concert, is tuned to GCEA. Whereas the baritone is lower and tuned to DGBE.
