Second, consider the size of the ukulele. They may look similar, but in reality there are four main types of ukuleles: soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone. Soprano ukuleles are the smallest and have the highest pitch, and tend to be the most inexpensive and therefore are the type found in schools everywhere. From there, in order, the concert, tenor and baritone ukuleles get progressively larger, and the pitch of their sound gets progressively lower.
The size of the ukulele you choose will depend on your personal preference and the type of music you want to play. Soprano ukuleles are a good choice for beginners because they are small and easy to hold, while concert and tenor ukuleles are a good choice for intermediate players who want a richer sound. Baritone ukuleles, on the other hand, are a good choice for players who want to play the ukulele like a guitar.
