Types of Ukulele: Finding Your Perfect Match

Concert Ukulele: Our recommended choice for beginners, the Concert Ukulele strikes a perfect balance between the bright tones of the Soprano and the deeper tones of the Tenor. Its comfortable size and versatile sound make it an excellent all-around choice.
