Snail BHC-5B Solid Spruce Top/Ebony Baritone Ukulele Slotted Headstock w/Gigbag END OF LINE

In 2026, Snail will be revamping their entire catalogue of Ukuleles with many models switching to wider nuts and different aesthetic detail.  With that in mind, Southern Ukulele Store has taken a huge amount of warehouse clearance stock and can offer some of the most iconic ukuleles of the last 20 years at the best prices ever!

For a long time the only thing missing from Snail as a brand was a good selection of baritone models in the range. After the successful introduction of the BHC collection in 2017 however, Snail flooded their roster with a plethora of baritone variations shortly thereafter and goodness did they hit the ground running. The baritone’s, much like the concerts and tenors impressed back then, and continue to do so right up to the present day.

This Snail baritone ukulele comes with a solid spruce top and laminated figured ebony back and sides, capped with a slotted headstock, with some gorgeous heart shaped tuners that are unbranded but very sturdy. You get accurate machine heads, a clean and clinical looking gloss finish and a crisp, clear and dynamic sound.

As we've come to expect from Snail ukes, this instrument is very light in your hands and basic chords ring out and sound fantastic. We decided to re-string the BHC-5B with D'Addario Titanium baritone ukulele strings to really add the definition and smooth deep tones people have long associated with the baritone and solidifying a real game changer in the baritone ukulele world.

The 35mm nut width with the elongated C shape neck will feel familiar in the hands of ukulele players more versed on with concerts and tenors and the lightness, tightness of sound and smooth nature is the perfect example of how a baritone ukulele can be a deluxe Ukulele and not just a poor mans guitar. With their quirky name, Snail continually release fantastic ukuleles that punch well above their weight for their price range.
