Mahalo instruments seem to get mixed reviews. Some like them and some claim they are only fit for firewood. They do tend to come with pretty lousy strings, though. I'm not familiar with the baritone but I have tried a couple of their entry level brightly coloured sopranos and the strings were truly dreadful. They don't ring, just go plunk so buy another set of strings (or two) and change them straight away.

You might get some good advice on the Ukulele Underground forum. They are a pretty helpful bunch.
