Description

The baritone version of their popular MU70 ukulele, the MUB70S baritone ukulele delivers the timeless sound and looks you’d expect from a Mitchell ukulele. Featuring rosewood back and sides, and a solid spruce top, the MU70 delivers increased volume and sustain, so you can ensure you’re producing those island-inspired tunes for all to hear. The addition of an abalone rosette and purfling adds a classic touch. The highlight of the Mitchell MU70 baritone uke is the special D-G-B-E tuning, which is the same as the top four strings on a regular guitar. Players transitioning from guitar to ukulele will feel right at home.

Classic Tonewoods

Mitchell gave this baritone ukulele rosewood back and sides, and upgraded it with a solid spruce top. The rosewood back and sides provide this classic ukulele with a timeless look while the solid spruce top delivers increased volume and sustain. Adding even more of a classic touch to this baritone ukulele from Mitchell is the abalone rosette and purfling.

Guitar Players Will Love This Uke

With its special D-G-B-E tuning, guitar players will be able to easily transition from playing guitar to playing the ukulele. Because D-G-B-E tuning is the same as the top four strings on a regular guitar, guitar players will feel right at home when playing the Mitchell MUB70S.

A very good uke at any price

I was fortunate to try this Baritone Ukulele at your Rockville branch recently.I am a solo uke(and guitar ) player,so I am very particular about instruments particularly ukes which are often churned out with the probable assumption that 'the kid will never get to play it anyway....' Well,not THIS instrument.The intonation was perfect,the sound much louder and sweeter than I expected and playability was excellent.I usually play on a tenor uke,so this was a slight struggle because of the scale length,but that was not the uke's fault. At the price it is a bargain,but at recommended price it is hard to beat

Fair instrument, some problems

This is not a bad little baritone. It sounds pretty, certainly not overwhelming, and is physically beautiful. However, it has some problems. The worst was a persistent buzzing on the B string at the lower frets that I did not hear in the noisy Guitar Center store but was impossible to ignore once I got it home. I had to take this uke to a good luthier to fix - at first he thought it was a lost cause, but he did succeed in losing the buzz and now I do enjoy playing it. But that should not happen with an instrument that is set up properly, and these are not. So buyer beware. Otherwise this uke has a sweet sound and is quite pleasant, but as to sound volume I differ from the other reviews here. The sound is not loud, especially in comparison to other baritones, and especially considering it is supposed to have a solid spruce top. There is no way from the sound that you would know the top is solid spruce. I have a $100 Kala mahogany laminate that has a much bigger sound than this. Still, this Mitchell is a good basic instrument with a sweet guitar-like sound, and since the buzzing disappeared I've spent many enjoyable hours with it. I would use it more for practice than performance. Fun to play, but for the money there are definitely better options out there. There is probably a reason why one generally doesn't hear Mitchell mentioned as one of the top ukulele brands.

    None of these out the box are set up correctly. 2 of my strings were buzzy and it will not hold a string to save it's life. For a solid sitka spruce top, it sounds like a cardboard box. You would expect more at its price point, but this is one of the most disappointing instrument purchases I've ever made.

    I spent a small fortune replacing the D and G strings. While I love the sound and the size, not being able to count on it makes me very unhappy with it. They snap in the same place. I've even seen others in guitar stores used with the same issue

    I wouldn't buy this again just because of that. There's no way you can keep strings on it. You'd be sitting not even touching it and it breaks. I love the sound I love the size but the constant string malfunctions are a problem. It breaks just where the string comes out on the bottom

    My first Mitchell was a concert that I purchased from GC about 10+ years ago. I use it to practice and perform. I purchased a Mitchell tenor a couple of years ago for a better tone, and I was not disappointed! Since I also play guitar, I wanted to broaden my horizons with a baritone, since it's tuned the same as guitar. Again, sounds great! Great value, great sound--who could ask for more? When asked by other uke players or beginners-I tell them get to Guitar Center, try a few out, and be pleasantly surprised at the quality that Mitchell has to ffer!

    This is my first baritone ukelele and I've been pretty happy with it. Mine was a floor model and a string broke not long after purchase, but I put some nicer strings on it. Sounds nice, I really like how it sounds when fingerpicking, very guitar like. The baritone has a nice gloss finish. Seems like a great value, especially when on sale.

  • Absolutely beautiful tone . I literally love it

    This uke changed me after 20 years of playing guitar. I hit a plateau and this little guy turned it around and then some. Its tone is outrageously beautiful. Fretting this is gliding across buttered glass. It is not a novelty it can boost your guitar playing and progression writing

    I will likely buy this product. After reading the comments by owners, I would like to have whatever unit is sent to me be I praise by a musician to assure that none of the strings for vibrate. Also, I would like recommendations as to what set of strings I should get as backups. Also, I want to get a protective cover, and what else you think I might need. Are these items possibly arranged? Thank you.

    Hello, does this sweet baritone ukelele have a truss rod in the neck? My cheaper Makala does have one. I don't see any mention of adjustable rod for this one. Does it have one? and if so where is the access?

    It does not.
