Mele Koa Top 19 in. Baritone 8-string ukulele
Mele's new Baritone/Extended Tenor ukulele is rapidly becoming one of our most popular models! It's got a 19" scale, like a Kamaka baritone, in contrast to the original Mele baritone which is almost an exact replica of a Martin bari and has a 20" scale. It comes in 4, 6 and 8-string versions- this is the 8-string and it's one of very few 8-string baritones on the market, at a fraction of the price of a custom-built one. This is
an awesome instrument for either a tenor or a baritone ukulele player,
and especially for someone who plays both as it can do double duty! It
also incorporates all the innovations and improvements we have come up
with in the 15 years we've been building professional-quality ukuleles. A
fine instrument which ANY ukulele player will be proud to own.

We decided to fill in the gap between our Martin-sized tenor (17" scale)
and our Martin-sized baritone (20" scale) ukuleles by coming out with a
mid-sized instrument (19" scale), which happens to be the same size as
the traditional Kamaka baritone uke but also works extremely well as a
tenor! Many of our professional tenor-player customers have upgraded to
this fuller and louder-sounding model and are using our custom
extended-tenor string set to tune it to GCEA (with either a wound low
"G" string or a plain high "G".) However, it shines equally brightly
when tuned to baritone tuning (using regular baritone uke strings), and
puts out just as much volume (with a bit of extra clarity and "punch")
as a Martin-sized bari, with equally superb intonation.
