With so many different ukulele companies, sizes, shapes, colors, and sounds, it can be totally overwhelming trying to figure out which is best for you.
Maybe you should just get all of the different ukuleles? It would be nice but the reality is that many of us are ready to get our first one and need help deciding where to go.
Some of the different sizes you might see are the sopranino, soprano, super soprano, concert, pineapple, tenor, super tenor, baritone, and bass.
That's a lot, so for today's video let's just focus on the 4 most popular ukuleles, the soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone.
Also remember this as a general rule for instruments, smaller the size the higher the timbre. You'll notice how the tiny soprano ukulele sounds much higher than the bigger baritone ukulele.
You may even say the soprano sounds louder than the baritone, but this is not necessarily true. Bigger instrument produce more sound than little ones are should be louder, but many of our ears perceive higher timbre instruments as being louder because they cut through so well.
When I say higher pitch, I’m not referring to volume, although many of our ears perceive a higher pitch as sounding louder, but simply that a sound has more treble (higher pitch) or more bass (lower pitch).
The order of the 4 ukuleles that we discuss in this video are (from smallest to biggest): soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone.
The best way to figure out which ukulele size is best for you is to go to a store and pick them all up and see what one fits best for your body.
Even if you don't know how to play a single chord, you can just tell by holding, feeling, and even smelling the instrument which is best for you. Maybe not smelling but ukuleles do smell great, or is that just me?
One tip, I would stay away from purchasing a baritone ukulele if it's your first instrument because it is tuned differently than the soprano, concert, and tenors.
Plus a majority of the instructional videos and books on the market cater towards the soprano, concert and tenor ukuleles.
Unless you know specifically that you want a baritone ukulele, I would stick with a soprano, concert or tenor.
The biggest difference in the sound of the ukuleles is sound and size. Bigger ukuleles will have bigger bodies, longer necks, and sound deeper.
If your a big person with big hands I would consider a tenor or a concert ukulele. Personally I think the tenor ukulele is the best there is.
But if your smaller with smaller hands than a soprano or a concert will be just fine.
The safest best is to get a concert ukulele. The are not too big or too small, there easy to hold and play, and they sound great.
Remember that you get what you pay for.
With so many ukulele companies making so many different types of ukuleles at all price points, it's easy to say look at this one on amazon for $85, it looks just like the one that is $850.
Looks are deceiving. The 2 biggest reasons why some ukuleles cost so much more than others is the kind of wood that is used and if an instrument is handmade or not.
An handmade Hawaiian ukulele made from koa wood is going to cost you much more than a laminate ukulele made in China.
That is not to say that some $200 ukuleles don't feel and sound great, but personally I always go for the most expensive instrument that I can afford.
This is another reason why it's great to go to a store and play the ukulele that you want because you might find that $200 ukulele that plays and sounds like a $2000 one.
Now go buy a ukulele or go grab the one you have and play.

Tip: If you sing and play the ukulele use an ukulele in the same sound as your voice: High soprano voice = soprano uke Lower soprano voice = concert uke Tenor voice/middle voice = tenor uke Very alto voice = Baritone uke

I played Guitar when in my 20's to 50's but tore my shoulder apart so had to give it up because I couldn't hold it without pain. I had a Baritone Uke but rarely picked it up. Now I am 77 and am visiting my Daughter, when all of a sudden, one evening she gave me her Baritone Uke and out of boredom, the next day bought new strings for it and started to play. I was SO shocked because I remembered how to restring it, tune it and then play it. I have fallen in LOVE with it. I can play Malaguena, and all other pieces I played on Guitar. I LOVE THIS INSTRUMENT....!!

[@sophieparkinson4957]

@@Ukelikethepros this might sound like a silly question, but do the tenor ukuleles differ when it comes to the high and low G? so can any tenor ukulele just be tuned to a low or high G or do you need to by a specific ukulele with either a low or high g?

[@kaii8985]

@@sophieparkinson4957 I know you asked this months ago, but just in case: Most tenor ukuleles come sold in commercial stores with high G tuning, so most of time (in my experience) you would need to buy a low G string and set it up. However, if there are particular retailers like the Ukulele Site (which is online and in-store), there is an option to have them set up with the low G when you buy an ukulele. It depends on where you live, of course, but online resources are very convenient--whether it be for a single low G string (which they sell) or for an ukulele set up with it. Hope this helps a little.

[@kaii8985]

@@sophieparkinson4957 I realized my answer is a little long, so in short: tenor ukuleles require a string change if you would like to switch between low and high G.

[@madelinelaake7130]

Got a tenor recently. Been having a ton of fun with it, especially when my fingers are too tired to go at my steel acoustic. It’s nice to have something so small and simple

[@Ukelikethepros]

Yes very good point, the size is so fun and easy to play compared to an acoustic guitar.Its funny after playing ukulele for a while and then going back to the guitar it will feel huge. What tenor did you get?

[@genyuzlady9548]

I wanna get one but I don't know what type to go for...😑

[@plamenmilanov3009]

After watching a lot of tutorials i came to the conclusion that the concert ukulele is the one to go for the following reasons: 1. it's hard to play any melody on a soprano uke due to it's size and the fact that it has fewer frets. Also the chords are limited to fret 5 or so, unless you can somehow manage to arrange your fat fingers properly to play anything higher 2. baritone ukulele i don't want to even discuss but - just cut 5th and 6th strings of your acoustic guitar and you are set. Only the size is a bit smaller, but then again you can buy a 3/4 , 2/4 guitars etc 3. tenor - exact same problem as the baritone , it's more of a guitar size really and again you have to cut your 5th and 6th string and put a capo on the 5 fret. If i would bother bringing a tenor ukulele to a party or w/e, i think i would bother bringing a proper acousting guitar as well.

[@carcamp5451]

I have the same feeling

[@Urumbak]

The tenor ones with high g are the best IMO. I've got both tenor and soprano and I feel the soprano is more of a toy. Really, only strumming low fret chords are acceptable, when you go bit higher for some variations it's always out of tune. The tenor one with high g, as the guy in the video said, still sounds like the ukulele should, moreover it can make satisfying, full sound playing both chords and single notes. Playing single notes sounds sometimes like a harp to me, it's beautiful. Also the tuning is fine, I originally play the guitar and the high g is something fresh and mind opening. I'm about to buy me some new ukulele and it's gonna be tenor again. Cheers😊

[@shimonami8960]

cut your 5th and 6th string from your guitar and soon your neck will be twisted due to the unevenly tension applied... also by your logic, a bass is just a guitar without the 1st and 2nd string... for me baritone and guitalele are my options to go, I like the low and mids on those type of ukes, and they have just so much personality that I can't see it being replicated on a guitar, even with capo

[@5skdm]

​@@shimonami8960I think he just means with "cutting" is muting the strings or just not playing them (but, it's kind of annoying), but yes I think the smaller sizes of baritones and guitaleles compared to guitars still gives it a different character

[@ferldt6179]

Im a filipina and wht i noticed is u talk so clear, which i really understand. Thank you.

[@draw1951]

I have played guitar for fifty years but just bought online, a tenor ukulele. watching your video was so helpful and immediately ordered a set of strings with a low G for all the reasons you mentioned. I love the fuller sound whereas the high G reminds me of a five string banjo, the 5th string being a high-note string. Thanks for your guidance.

[@alycertain]

I got a soprano and I'm happy. Finally an accompanying instrument that has a similar range to mine. I never really liked the guitar because of the lower pitch. Besides, the soprano on this guy looks tiny, but I'm quite petite, so I feel it really suits me. I think it's something about the audio through the video that makes the soprano here sound kinda too loud. In real life it sounds beautiful (for my taste). Also, I do play single notes on it. But I'm only learning, so maybe in the future I will consider a concerto. For now, I travel a lot, so that's another reason for me to want the smaller one. I love my uke :)

[@metalmonster34]

I picked up a tenor in Milan, Italy because I missed having a guitar while backpacking in Europe for months. Didn't know how to play it but learned instantly and the size of it REALLY helped because I was able to carry it on in airports. I change my high G string to a low G for that extra range. It's perfect.

[@alycertain]

Hi. So, it was your only carry on or how did you travel with it? I'm gonna travel with my soprano for the first time and I don't really know where to put it

[@FenrirInFlowers]

Very cool video. As a short female with small hands I got lots of advice to start with soprano, but it felt too cramped. I switched to tenor, and it was so much more comfortable for me. I love my tenors and play them all the time. I'm even looking to add a baritone into my small family of ukes now.

[@cheyennealexander3039]

Aloha...I've been studying and playing ukulele for about 10 years. From this platform I'd like to say you are the best ukulele teacher, videos, and ukulele website I have ever come across. Mahalo for all you do to educate and promote uke. Many retailers just want to grab the bucks and run. I've gone into over a 1000 music stores, even the big ones in San Francisco, and they give absolutely no attention, education or passion to this instrument when selling them. They might as well be selling tires at an auto parts store. You are a refreshing alternative to the norm. The passion you have for the instrument is evident in every video. Your teaching skills are legendary. Mahalo so much for your videos and for all you give the world of music.

I have been watching/listening to other videos about ukelele (im a beginner with zero knowledge) yet i learned from you more than the others. Thank you soooo much....😎

[@JP-bd4zl]

Outstanding video Very much appreciated Thank you

[@ji8198]

This makes me think of choosing between concert and tenor even though I am just a beginner ☺️

[@ji8198]

@@balleralert8 I ended up buying a soprano ukulele but it's not bad actually. I bought a high quality local brand ukulele in the philippines. No regrets so far

[@jenmoore9410]

Thanks for that as an absolute beginner your video is very helpful. I have watched a few others and still did not know which one to buy - now i do. I liked the tenor but will take your advice to buy a concert ukulele - and i was pronouncing it wrong. :)

[@boonang4097]

Terry thank you. Great great intro about Ukeleleing. Didn't realize so many types of Uks'. Sounds size pitches. Makes me want to have ago learning to play the Uk and maybe encourage my grand children to learn to play too. Thank you. So many unknowns revealed under 10 minutes. 👍👍

[@Copyandpasteee292]

Doing uke lessons when school finishes (im year around so in about 2-3 more weeks) I think concert is perfect for me. Thanks

[@jaxguy1930]

Very informative video. I personally like the concert with the high G. Bigger than concert and with a low G the sound good, but more like a guitar.

[@Ukelikethepros]

I agree, I like a high G on my concert as well. Thanks for the comment.

[@that_girl_with_the_afro]

Oh god it’s my birthday and I want ukulele. But I’m so indecisive! 😰

[@Ukelikethepros]

Happy Birthday, just pull the trigger and get one, chances are you'll be buying many in your playing career.

[@MedicaLabTech]

I'm 30 and I've never learned to play any instruments before. This encourged me to try to learn playing the Ukulele.

[@Ukelikethepros]

Wow, awesome, I'm so glad that you told me this. You have tons of great content here on my channel and other channels as well. I also have a Beginning Ukulele Bootcamp Course for $20 on the Uke Like The Pros website bit.ly/2HZCsHd

[@kevin_segura]

Supper useful and educational for basics. Loved it thank you

[@VondaInWonderland]

Thanks, I think I'm going to check out the low G tenor ♥

[@Ukelikethepros]

Cool, yes I would. I like having both a high G and a Low G but find that I play the Low G more.

[@lilyylilsanj690]

Thanks it helps me a lot buying 💙

[@Ukelikethepros]

You are welcome. Where are you writing from?

[@matinmolaei152]

Thanks! It was a BIG help.

[@mathewgreen4099]

Many thanks for posting, this video is very helpful when you have absolutely no experience with a ukulele.

[@luvphipit]

I'm about to buy my first ukulele. This vid is really helpful, thx for sharing ☺️

[@Ukelikethepros]

Great, what you are going to get?

[@luvphipit]

Based on your recommendation, the concert. Now i just need to decide for the brand 😅

[@willneverforgets3341]

Did you enjoy? Are you still playing?

[@bellaj.8760]

I love the ukulele!!! It’s so fun to play! I have two ukuleles! My first ever one is a concert, I got that one for my birthday back in August, then I got my second, which is a tenor, for Christmas! I’m still getting used to the tenor cause it’s a bit bigger than a concert haha! I was actually inspired to play the ukulele by my favorite singer! Her name is Mandy Harvey! If you don’t know who she is than you should look her up cause she is AMAZING!! I actually got to met her too!! She’s the girl I’m hugging in my profile pic!

[@Ukelikethepros]

This is so great to hear. You will get use to the tenor, it's great to have the option of the concert an the tenor. I have heard of Mandy Harvey, and just looked her up to remind myself. She is incredible and such an inspiration to all of us.

[@louierodriguez9880]

Great video. I learned a lot about Uke sizes. Thank you!!!

[@digigoliath]

Thanks for a very informative guide for a complete newbie!!!

[@jen6294]

so helpful!!! I was gonna get the soprano because I knew it was the smallest, which I thought would be good but actually seeing it played, I’ve decided I want the concert :) hopefully I can find a good one that’s not more than $100 😭

[@geegee.7681]

Same here😢

[@amyjane7606]

This helped me so much with my ''ookele''

[@ghala7669]

Thats the right way to pronounce it

[@Molledd]

Thank you for making this video, originally I had planned on getting a Baritone as I thought it sounded better but I think a Tenor would be a better fit. Keep up the great content!

[@tariah.g.3520]

Thank you so much, this video helped me way more than the others I've watched

[@whmozart]

the tenor seems to be the most logical choice, especially having the option of dropping the G but I would assume it's a separate string you would have to use for that.

[@mikrokosmos-pluto]

I really like the sound of the tenor, although the concert ukelele is good too. I hope I'll be able to get one. It's really fun learning instruments and I hope my parents allow me to buy even a second hand one :') Sorry, parents.

[@dalal2492]

hope you got what you wanted!

[@RobinSchenk1]

Thank you, great video, exactly what I needed to know! Thumbs up.

[@KrystalLeighHarman]

I’m gonna go with the concert I have small hands and I’m like a beginner so I think it’s the best choice

[@khrystyna111]

Hi! Omg I have small hands and fingers too and also want to buy a concert uke🥺 Did you choose concert? How it is going now? (Sorry if I made a mistake somewhere, English is not my native)

[@kyleeky1ee]

Awesome video! I'm adding this to my ukulele playlist! Thank you very much! Play on! 👍

[@Ukelikethepros]

Thank you so nice of you. I'm really glad that you liked it and it helped.

[@OMGiGi]

This is the most helpful video I have watched yet thank you!!!

[@Indusxstan]

Thank you! That was really clear-sighted 😀

[@cezanniemelchor2395]

There are also GCEA strings for the Baritone Ukulele, I haven't seen or played one because I haven't come across one yet in any music store that's tuned GCEA, if you have a Baritone Ukulele with DGBE strings, you have the option. Terry that would be a good video to compare a DGBE and a GCEA Baritone Ukulele. Thanks for making informative and comparative Ukulele videos.

[@Ukelikethepros]

Yes, that is a great point. I think many people get tenor ukulele strings with a low G and then put them on a baritone and tune it G C E A. I happen to have a baritone in D G B E and G C E A tuning here in the studio.

[@hilmymaulana8774]

What ukulele that u use?and what brand I wanna start learn but idk what to buy can u give me reccomendation?

[@Mostafa20268]

Excelent lesson, many thanks Man.

[@pacervault3350]

Looks like I'm getting myself a Tenor Ukelele!Thanks for the info!

[@wellicantdecideonaname2958]

The only issue is every ukulele apart from the soprano is SOOOO expensive

[@Ukelikethepros]

Here are a couple of concert ukuleles that are reasonably priced. Flight Concert Ukulele amzn.to/2P9NrQr and Kala Concert Ukulele amzn.to/2P9ajzu

[@99xara99]

I seriously haven't seen any major price differences because of the size. There are cheap and expensive ones for every size. Bariton may still be the hardest to find.

[@Ukelikethepros]

@@99xara99 Your correct about the price, there will always be a model for you no matter how much or little you want to spend. Baritones are hard to find cause not all companies make them. KoAloha doesn't have a baritone. The demand is less for the baritone but I love my baritone and think its a great playing and sounding instrument.

[@StayVenturous]

Aklot Concert Ukeleles are only $60

[@Ukelikethepros]

@@StayVenturous I see them on Amazon and they are $10 off right now as well.
