Hi, I am new to this forum and just shopping for a uke. 

I love the warm lower tones of the baritone.  But I have very small hands, and arthritis setting in to the thumbs.  I am wondering about the size of the neck and the distance between the frets on a tenor vs a baritone.  Which would be easier for a person with kind of stubby fingers?   I guess stubby fingers would have been a good user name.  Oh, well, too late for that. 

Also, I want to be able to play with other uke players as well as guitars.  Would the baritone D tuning make it easier to fit in with guitars?  What about a baritone uke playing with tenors, concerts, or sopranos?   Thanks.
