Your favorite Ukulele size Poll. (2024)

Coming from guitar i chose a concert size ukulele. I did at first get a cheap soprano but i wanted to try the concert plus it was a poor quality one. I didn't want anything close to a guitar but nothing too small, however i got an all solid hog soprano and it has won me over! What is your size choice and why?

I'd say tenor followed closely by baritone.

I prefer Concert size for strumming as some chords are easier to achieve than on a tenor which is why 7 of my 11 are Concerts (2 tenors, 1 Bari, and 1 pineapple Soprano)......................

I'd also say tenor followed by baritone. It has mostly to do with having a fretboard that's comfortable for my fingers. I do have at least one of each of the four sizes, though, and I enjoy the sounds of them all.

I am still a newbie at playing but I prefer the tenor fretboard. I have a concert now but there is a super concert in my near future.

concert all the way! I find the tenor just looses so much of that classic ukulele tone...the concert gives you string tension like a tenor, but a more traditional sound, a great compromise overall...but i say...pick up one of each...i did...pocket through bari....

Bari. Big body, lots of sustain, beautiful voice, and can handle a plethora of diffferent tunings.

IMO sopranino and other subcatagories should be listed. I love my lil pocket uke the best <3

Soprano for the sound but with a Concert neck for playability!

Soprano only. Anything larger is cheating.

Tenor because i find it easier to play and love the tone. Love all ukes but tenor is just the size for me.

I like my tenor and soprano ukes, but I LOVE my concert uke. The size and sound are perfect for me... Which is why I have a mya-moe concert on order!

Juat like every other time this poll has come up, Concert. mine have just as many frets as a tenor, not as far to reach for tricky chords and whatnot, sounds more like a uke to me. Soprano would be my second choice.

I go back and forth between soprano and concert. I do enjoy playing tenor and baritone as well, but I find the reach difficult sometimes (the eternal puzzle of my hands, as I have long, thin fingers but have always had a hard time with the more spread-out chord shapes). At the moment, it's the soprano I reach for, but I could be back to the concert by next week.

I thought I was a concert gal for life... but I have been loving sopranos and that seems to be my go-to Ukes lately. In my shop when demo-ing Ukes 101 I can choose between 80 different Ukes and I always grab a soprano. Though the only soprano I keep is my Ohana sk-10. I love that little Ukes. I am considering a KoAloha soprano next time I feel I have "earned" a uke.

I'm surprised the tenor is ahead by double the votes??

Dunno.... only ever played Soprano's. I agree with pukulele Pete though, anything bigger is cheating and getting awfully close to mandolin country!

I'm not voting in this poll. I'm much more accustomed to playing guitar than a 'ukulele of any size, and the frets on my soprano are too close together for comfort when I attempt to play up the neck. I'm very happy that I now have a tenor, but haven't played enough on concert scale instruments to rule out the possibility of acquiring one eventually.
