Giannini baritone ukuleles, made in Brazil, are sought-after vintage instruments, popular for their warm, deep tone, often constructed from mahogany and tuned DGBE (like the top four guitar strings), making them a great transition for guitarists, commonly found from the 1960s-1970s and prized for their quality and classic sound.

• Design: Simple, utilitarian, often with a classic rosette and plastic dot inlays.
• Components: May have original friction pegs or upgraded geared tuners; brass frets are common.
