What You Need To Know About Ukulele

So you are looking out to buy your first ukulele? It may seem very tempting once you visit the regional music shop, but read these little hints first so that you understand what you are getting yourself into. I wish I had read something similar to this before I purchased my first ukulele.

UKULELE SIZES

UKULELE SIZES

Uku Sizes
Soprano -- The soprano ukulele is the smallest one of the four sizes. What is interesting is the fact that it is the one which most people think whenever the term"ukulele" is mentioned. It's the picture of a ukulele. Sopranos have 12--15 frets and has the body. It's that timeless"twangy sound" of a ukulele. Due to its small dimensions, it's among the favorites. Very mobile. Ideal for children and players who have little hands.
Concert -- The concert ukulele generally has 15 to 20 frets. It's slightly larger than the usual soprano and because of that, it provides a fuller sound in contrast to its smaller sibling. Since the size is not too small and not too significant size is just one of the favorites for novices. It's still mobile enough and very a solid sound is produced by it. What's more interesting about this uke is that it has that timeless ukulele"twangy" sound.
Tenor -- The tenor ukulele is larger in size compared to other two ukuleles that I first mentioned. This ukulele has 18 frets or longer. Owing to its body that is bigger, you'll find a fuller sound and more frets to play together with your fingers. Most specialist ukulele players prefer this size as it allows them more room in the fretboard.
*Baritone *-- The baritone uke is the best crossover for most guitar players. It's the biggest ukulele size among the four. The tuning differs in the other three as it does not stick to the g-C-E-A standard ukulele tuning. Instead, it is tuned to D-G-B-E that's just like the top four strings of a guitar.

My Ukulele was a Bondi Mahogany Concert Ukulele. I loved it. I was anticipating an entry level but I believe I have more than anticipated. A bright and loud sound that is rather identical to those ukuleles is produced by it.

One Of the most popular brands right now is the Kala Ukulele. It is a bang for your buck. I'm not endorsing these brands that I mentioned. It's just my observation. You will need to find yourself out which one fits your taste.

YOUR BUDGET

YOUR BUDGET

Lastly, You have to know how much do you like to invest as a beginner on your initial purchase. If you wish to test the waters and you feel you still don't want to commit yourself to this instrument, I'd advise you to look for ukuleles in the price range between $80-$250.

Any Ukulele below $80 really are a bunch of craps. Well, that's based on my experience. Bad intonation, cheap low grade strings, the wood isn't glued correctly, etc..

You can find a ukulele of quality that is very good, but that's very rare. Overall, a opportunity to last for years will not stand.
