Most definitely, autoharps as well.........

Are guitar players aloud to jam with ukes.

NO They must play lightly

I have known some guitar players who are very aloud .

If you think jamming with some guitar players drowns out the uke then you should try jamming with a couple of banjo players like I do regularly.

I could bring my Baritone horn and that can create some noise for you and very aloud if I want to. HAHA

It's not unusual to see a huge range of instruments in a jam session at some of the Festivals we go to.
Wind, string, percussion and lost of home made stuff as well.
Cigar Box Guitars/Ukuleles are becoming very common as well. 1,2,3,4,6 strings, anything goes with home builds.

They are tuned DGBE, the same as the top four strings of a guitar whereas a Uke is GCEA.
A Baritone can be tuned as a Uke but the strings need to be replaced due to pitch.

Took a few very short lessons from a Uke teacher at Stone The Crows on his baritone Uke that was strung as a normal Uke yet had a deeper more mellow note and enough room between the strings to pick it as well as strum it. Had a bit of a go at it and it felt comfortable where the Tiny Tim size units feel like a kids toy when you have long arms like me, us knuckle draggers need that extra bit of wooden box and fence post

I used to play with this drummer once and he was very very aloud aloud ,and that's why i'm deef.

what if he wanted to jam ,would have to give him a pair of brushes.

Terry, have you tried a tenor uke?
Same tuning as tiny tims, but definitely more manageable, with a lovely mellow tone, no squeeky sounds. This is my preferred uke to play, but then I haven't had the experience of a baritone one. I am imagining that the baritone would be similar in size to a guitar? If so, then a guitar would be my choice, but I went for the tenor uke because it fits easier into the van over my guitar.
Lets be happy to just make some music some time.

Debroah, I have 3 Tenor ukes, the concert size didn't give me enough room between the frets for my bent fingers.
Anne can comfortably play both Concert and Saprano sizes but finds the Tenor a bit bulky.
Not a lot of difference in overall size but I guess it does feel different.
