Ukuleles come in 4 main sizes:<\/h2>\n

Soprano<\/h3>\n

[vc_empty_space height=”15px”]<\/p>\n

The size most people play and what most people picture when they think of the ukulele.\u00a0 The usual tuning is A, E, C, G (High to low) with the G on the bottom being only a tone below the high A (Called a re-entry string)<\/p>\n

[vc_empty_space height=”15px”][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Concert<\/h3>\n

[vc_empty_space height=”15px”]<\/p>\n

A bigger version of the ukulele, the concert can be tuned the same as the Soprano, but the larger body allows for a more mellow sound with more bass tones.<\/p>\n

Tenor<\/h3>\n

[vc_empty_space height=”15px”]<\/p>\n

This is larger again but can still have the same tuning as the soprano.\u00a0 Because of the larger body, it is possible to have the 4th<\/sup> string tuned an octave lower than its smaller companions.\u00a0 This gives a beautiful lower range than is great for playing melody or accompanying.<\/p>\n

Baritone<\/h3>\n

[vc_empty_space height=”15px”]<\/p>\n

This is a lot larger and tuned like the first 4 strings of a guitar (E, B, G, D)\u00a0 This makes the baritone a very popular choice for guitarists who want a different sound.<\/p>\n

All of our ukuleles come with a gig bag.\u00a0 We set them up on arrival to ensure that the action (distance from the neck to the string) is the correct height and there is no fret buzz.<\/h2>\n
