Aloha City Ukes' demo covers this exact spruce and quilted sapele baritone, while the GotAUkulele clip is about the koa baritone, a different wood set.

Why it matters

This is the baritone member of Kala's 2025 20th Anniversary series, with the same solid spruce top and quilted sapele back and sides as the tenor but in the 30-inch, guitar-tuned baritone size. It has 19 frets on a 20.0625-inch scale, a truss rod and D'Addario fluorocarbon strings with a wound D. Rosewood binding, a paua abalone rosette and a padded 20th Anniversary gig bag are included. MSRP is $419 as of September 2026.
