Comments about Oscar Schmidt OU53S Baritone Ukulele:
This uke is well made and sounds great. I got this because my hands are a little big for any other size uke. I do however like GCEA tuning and was able to find baritone strings with that tuning. I mostly play acoustic guitar, but enjoy side trips with other instruments and the uke is great for that.
The quality of this uke is great and I am sure any professional musican would love it.

Comments about Oscar Schmidt OU53S Baritone Ukulele:
I've had my OU53S for over 4 years now, and I've never had a single complaint about it. It stays in tune, the intonation is great, it's good-looking, and the tone is beautiful. Maybe I just got lucky with mine, but I'd like to suggest that if you get a new instrument from any maker and isn't right, send it back! Odds are, you just got a bad one. It happens, but that doesn't mean everything the company makes is going to be bad. I've had two Washburn acoustic guitars, too -- a classical cutaway and a dreadnought, and they were both fine instruments.

I've had my Uke now for about 4 weeks and I just love it. I've never been good on regular guitar, but this is a dream come true. The finish and the hardware are outstanding.

For the fella wanting to go to the koa Concert, I bought one it came with Vinci strings, not only pretty but plays and sounds great, this thing too is a great instrument, I recommened this brand, in any size, they also have a lifetime warrentee so if you get a bad one, one of the few that may come off the lien bad, send it back you'll be happy in the long run. I love all of my ukes and have switched from a Samick Concert to the Oscar Schmidt, I only switched to go Koa, I bought the baritone to get another spruce top, the newest 2008 OU53S Deluxe has a solid spruce top and sounds so good it's like it's singing to or with ya... I highly recommend... not to mention by buying here you have double protection, they'll make sure you are happy.
Comments about Oscar Schmidt OU53S Baritone Ukulele:
received my oscar schmidt baritone uke last week and its a real beauty. however after one day of strumming, i noticed the binding on one of the strings started to unravel from contact with the fret. the second day the string broke making it necessary to purchase a new set of martin strings..
Comments about Oscar Schmidt OU53S Baritone Ukulele:
I recently purchased a Washburn baritone uke to upgrade from a Rogue baritone. The inlay work is very nice. In fact,it is a very good looking instrument. The first indication of a problem was the instrument was not strung in baritone sequence. The second problem was a distinct buzz when the third and fourth strings were depressed in the first and second frets. Frankly, the rogue plays better and came strung properly. Incidently, the other Washburn uke I have had a half glued bridge on it that came off when the strings were tuned. I intend to stay away from Washburn in the future.
Comments about Oscar Schmidt OU53S Baritone Ukulele:
Great little uke, lots of rich tone. Very easy transition for guitar players. it's got a really unique tone that works great with traditional hawian songs, folk, bluegrass, and with the suprising bottom of the baritone size even works great playing the blues.
