Kepasa Grande Baritone Ukulele - The Kepasa Grande is my newest ukulele model. I wasn't convinced that I would ever build a baritone, but when my great friend Bob asked me to do so, I gladly agreed and got right to work on the design and intention. When I say intention, that's regarding what I believed this instrument should be. Is a baritone a large ukulele or a small guitar? After much thought about the obvious and much more thought about the inobvious, I decided that the Kepasa Grande Baritone Ukulele was going to philosophically be a small guitar. I designed the bracing to be similar to one of the most popular classical guitar patterns. Includes a large choice of in-stock woods. Specific wood requests beyond what I have in stock may result in added cost.
