What Uke Should I Buy?

Kala Brand Ukulele sells instruments at many price points with features appealing to players of all experience levels. The first question to consider is whether you want a soprano, concert, tenor, or baritone ukulele. These four size differences will affect your overall sound more than any other factor. We recommend visiting one of our dealers and playing several ukuleles in your price range. Bring a friend whose opinion you trust and have him or her listen to the instrument as you play. Take notes of what you like or dislike about the sound and playability of a specific model. Ask yourself whether you need electronics pre-installed for live or recording purposes. Do you want a cutaway for greater access to the upper frets? Do you want an instrument made from all solid wood or one that uses laminate construction? Is figured wood high on your list of specifications? Take your time making your purchase and consult your local dealer if you aren’t sure of which uke to get.
