The wide string spacing and short scale length make these instruments unique in their own right while I can play most of the stuff I play on the baritone uke on guitar, the music loses a lot in tone and fluidity in the transfer.

On that note of inclusiveness: enter the baritone ukulele! While these instruments are tuned like the top 4 strings of a guitar, its a mistake to think of baritone uses as somewhat-limiting diversions for guitarists.

In years past (and today), people likely played 'fiddle tunes' on whatever instruments were available these eclectic variations in instrumentation help make Old-Time such a big tent, in which you're free to find your own niche for expression. While groups will typically include fiddles, banjos, guitars, basses, and sometimes mandolins, no one would use the presence of cellos, dulcimers, harmonicas, accordions, concertinas, spoons, washboards, tin whistles, cajons, or musical saws, to question the 'authenticity' of an old time band (yes, I heard all of these instruments in jams while walking around Clifftop this year : ).

One thing I love about Old-Time music is that there doesn't seem to be a formula for what constitutes a 'real' Old-TIme band.
