There are several reasons for the popularity of the Ukulele but one of the main reasons is that the Ukulele is so easy and fun to play. From ages 4 to 104 just about anyone can have fun playing and making music with a ukulele.

There are only 4 nylon strings to play and they’re very easy on the fingers. If you’ve played the guitar you know it can take some time for your finger tips to get used to the soreness that your fingertips experience when you first start playing the steel strings on most guitars. No so with the Ukulele…the nylon strings are very easy and comfortable to play. Many chords on the Ukulele can be played with only 2 or 3 fingers. That’s what’s so great about playing the Ukulele, in no time at all you’ll be making music and loving it.

Here are a few things you should know before you buy your first Ukulele.

1. Uke’s come in different sizes…The “original” size known as the “standard” size Uke is called the Soprano. A Soprano Uke is the smallest size and has a scale length of only about 13” with a total length of about 21”. The next size larger is the Concert size Ukulele with a scale length of 15” with a total length of about 23”, then you move up to the Tenor size with a scale length of about 17” with a total length of about 26”and then up to the big brother, the Baritone Uke with a scale length of about 19” with a total length of about 30”. The standard tuning for most Ukes is G-C-E-A except for the Baritone Uke which is tuned D-G-B-E. You may be asking why the different sizes? The bigger the Uke the more volume and bass it produces. As you can see from the different scale lengths there are only a few inches that separate one style from another. The most popular sizes are Soprano, Concert and Tenor. A Soprano style Uke is best for small hands. You will also see a few novelty shapes from time to time too. You may see Uke’s that have an oval or “pineapple” shape, a “watermelon” shape or even a square “Cigar box” shape.
2. Uke’s are made from different woods…Most commonly you find Ukulele’s made out of Mahogany. Mahogany is a good wood used in the construction of many types of musical instruments. Mahogany holds up to years of playing and typically produces a rich sound. Other woods used in the construction of Ukulele’s include Nato, Spruce, Maple, Koa, Sapele, and Curly Mango. Woods such as Spruce, Maple or Mango can produce a sound that is a bit brighter than Mahogany. The fingerboard and bridge of most Ukes is crafted from Rosewood. Rosewood is commonly used in both Uke’s and guitars because it is a very hard, dense wood.
3.  The hardware is also important…The most important hardware you’ll find on a Ukulele is the tuning gears. Quality tuning gears make it easy to tune your Uke. High quality tuning gears won’t slip due to the strings pressure on the gear and this will help your Uke to stay in tune.
4. Purchase a reliable, well known brand…After researching and trying out many brands we’ve selected only 4 brands that we believe offer our customers the best quality at a fair price. These brands are Kala, Makala (made by Kala), Lanikai and Ibanez. All of these companies are very well respected and have years of experience creating high quality instruments that our customers can be proud to own for many years.
5. Buy your Uke from a company that specializes in Ukes and knows the difference between one Uke and another. Companies that specialize in Ukulele’s can answer your questions and give you tips to help you get the greatest enjoyment from your Ukulele purchase. We hope you choose our company, The Musician’s SuperStore when you’re ready to buy a ukulele.
