Sounds right to me. I am very intereted in hearing your opinions on the Alvarez.

From your post on another channel, my in-laws summer in Flagstaff to avoid the Phoenix heat. Next time I am planning a trip to AZ I will let you know.

My Alvarez baritone (ABT60) arrived Thursday evening and has been getting a lot action since. Without getting all gushy, it suffices to say the spread in tonal quality and playability between this mass-produced baritone and the high end instruments costing many times more is far, far closer than the price spread. Looks good too...even has real abalone. I can strongly recommend it to anyone curious about adding a baritone to their repertoire...if you can find one! PM me and I'll pass on the info on the super deal I found with a good brick & mortar shop.

My initial adjustment is getting the baritone tunings straight for the tunings I commonly use; the B-Baritone equivalent for Taropatch is A-D-A-D-F#-A (I hope). I'll be experimenting with strings too. And suddenly my pinkie is again too short for some chord stretches! I'm still a beginner in slack key but the baritone is yet another motivator. I'm really glad I snagged this one.
