Lanikai LU-21B LU Series Baritone Ukulele Review

Whether you are a first time player just starting out, an acoustic multi-instrumentalist looking to expand your palette, or simply looking for a ukulele that's affordable and high-quality, the Lanikai LU-21B LU Series Baritone Ukulele is the perfect ukulele for you. The LU series is one of the most popular ukulele series on the market, and for good reason. It's affordable, easy to play, and comes with an instruction manual for beginners.

Vintage Harmony Baritone Ukes

Whether you're looking to get into the baritone scene or just want to upgrade your acoustic guitar, a baritone uke is a great choice. Not only do they sound great, they're lightweight and easy to transport around town. For this reason, they're often cheaper than you think, especially if you're able to find a good deal on eBay or Amazon. Depending on your budget, you can pick up one of these gizmos for as little as a few hundred bucks.

The Lanikai LU-21B is probably the best choice in this price range. It has a few impressive design elements, including a die-cast geared tuner, a rosewood fingerboard, nato wood, and Aquila Nylgut strings. You also get a handy sized gig bag, which is always a good thing. This is also a great uke to pick up if you're on a tight budget.

The Kala KA-MK-B is another good option for the ukulele connoisseur looking to save a few bucks. This one has a couple of nice touches, including a gloss finish and padauk binding. It also has a solid cedar top and a slotted headstock.

TunaUke technology improves intonation

Whether you are playing a soprano ukulele, a concert ukulele or a baritone ukulele, you will find that Lanikai's TunaUke technology improves intonation by a lot. This innovative technology uses diecast tuners to compensate for the difference between the first fret and the nut. This improves intonation by as much as 90%.

The TunaUke's movable saddles allow you to adjust the compensation for each string for maximum tone. This allows you to play open chords in tune all the way up the neck. This is a major improvement over the conventional straight saddles that were traditionally used. This technology also allows for quick string changes and better overall projection.

Lanikai's Spruce Series TunaUkes offer a classic solid spruce sound. This model features a contrasting maple binding. It also comes with a built-in tuner. The tuner is powered by Fishman electronics. It comes standard with the Lanikai The Legacy Collection LU2-8EK.

Tonewoods

Choosing the right tonewoods for Lanikai LU-21B LU Series Baritone Ukulele will help you determine the sound you want to hear. There are many factors that determine the quality of a ukulele's sound, including the wood used to construct the body and the sound hole.

The main wood used for ukuleles is mahogany. This is a tropical wood with a variety of tones. It is typically found in Hawaii, and is a good choice for a ukulele. However, mahogany is also available in other countries. Depending on where it was grown, mahogany from different countries will have different tonal characteristics.

Nato wood is also a popular choice for ukuleles. Nato is a tropical wood that is less expensive than mahogany. Nato is known for its beautiful light brown color and has a warm mahogany-like tone.

The back and sides of ukuleles are usually made of hardwoods. These types of woods are dense and give the ukulele a more robust sound. However, they may not give as much sustain as softwoods.
