- Опубликовано: 29 авг 2024
- Today we will be comparing 8 different ukuleles in 6 different sizes. It seems like people are sometimes a little lost when they're searching for an ukulele to buy (either for themselves or for someone else). I understand that some people don't have access to music stores where they can test different ukuleles, so I hope that this video answers questions that you have about ukulele varieties. If you have any other questions, please comment them below! This is an educational community and we are all here to learn :)

Wow, thank you! These are great!!
Coool, it's all in the details, I was going to say what Ms.B said...WoW
Thanks Lou! You are awesome!
I have a Lanikai Soprano, a Protége Concert, and a generic Tenor. I thought I hated my cheap $20 eBay Tenor until I realised that the strings needed to stretch. Now I think I dislike my Concert Uke because the strings feel so coarse and as a result, half to 3/4+ of the time, they clunk and sound raggedy aka wicked bad. So I usually only use the other two. I want a Baritone tuned to GCEA, and now I definitely want the Sopranino and Sopranissimo ((the entire range is on my wish list when I win the lottery, lololol)). And the Banjolele. I'm curious about the guitarlele ((guitalele?)). 😉
I'm a beginner, I've never been a singer or a stringer, so my uploads are blacked-out ((audio, not video, YET)) and all gospel except 1 ... ((2 if I give the link, it *is* video and it totally sucks!))
I have a baritone, a tenor, two concerts, two long-neck sopranos and 5 sopranos. Obviously, the sopranos are my favorites, but also really like my concerts. I'm in a wheelchair so I always play sitting down and the smaller and lighter an instrument is, the more comfortable it is for me. I'd love to try a sopranino and a sopranissimo someday. I've also been obsessed with plastic ukuleles lately so my current favorites specific ukes are my high G Flea concert and my low G Outdoor soprano.
What are the lenghts of sopranino and a sopranissimo?
@@MrBvn88 Sopranissimo ukes have a scale length of around 11 inches and for sopraninos, it's around 13 inches.
"Some girls collect jewelry, I collect ukuleles." ❤❤❤
Exactly💕
They bring much more joy 💁🏻♀️
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic True❤
Some girls know what is actually valuable; and that would be the ukulele.
I collect both
1-soprano
2-concert (one with low g)
1-tenor w/pick-up
1-banjolele
1-baritone
I like concert size best, it fits my short fingered hand.
BUT playing the baritone now, oh I just love that deep rich tone!!! As always, thank you Bernadette! Great video as always! (Leah)
Ahhh yes!! The baritone is like nothing else, isn’t it? You have a nice collection.
The concert size... is that the pink one?
Bernadette, oh yes! It’s my sweet pinky pie!
Anna Hanks ahh!! So cuuuute!! I have yet to add a pink uku to my collection!!
I love the baritone!!! And low G tenor!!!
Ahhh, your taste leans more towards the lower-sounding instruments. Mine does too
The cat likes the tenor too!
I have soprano, 2 concerts and tenor. My favorite is soprano, e❣️🎉Easy to play chords. One of the concerts is a low g. I loved the baritone on here.. thanks for the good demo and can see you have your sparkle back!
I love how compared to the other ones the sopranino and sopranissimo kinda sound like the sound is coming from a cassette player 😁 idk why but that sound makes me very happy
Lou Bold ahaha! You’re so nineties and I love that! 😘😘😘
And based on that, I just added one to my shopping list.
I have two concert, two soprano, one jewelry box ukulele soprano scale (I prefer ukes to jewelry as well 😀) and I’m building a concert size banjolele. Thanks for the size comparison it was fun seeing all the sizes side by side.
I just bought a Flight Victoria tenor and put a low G string on it.....I think I am in love 😍 But I also have a Kala concert uke that I am very fond of and sometimes prefer, for certain songs. By the way, I bought the Flight mainly on your recommendation 🙏🏻
Kirsten Cooiman ahhh! Yay 😁 glad you like your victoria tenor. It’s a really nice uku. Have you plugged it into an amp yet?
No not yet. And I still have to practice a lot on the tenor because my fingers are short and I got to stretch them 🙄🙃😂 Any tips for short fingers?
Thank you! Valuable info! I'm just beginning, with a soprano. When I prove myself, I think I want a low G tenor.
Ah, that will be motivating. You should set a goal song, so that you know when you’ve proved yourself. A low G will be fun!!
Great video, overview, comparisons. I am currently researching which ukulele to buy. Thinking concert size. I bought my bf a uke a few christmases back (kala soprano) and have been playing around with it some the last few weeks (using your videos!). Feels a bit small for me so concert seems a nice entry. Overwhelmed about a good starter uke.
Hi Aaron! This can be a very overwhelming process. Any of the ukes mentioned here would be a great buy, in my opinion :)
I hear kitty around 11:10 😻
Wonderful and thank you Bernadette. Wish this video was around when I was choosing to dip my toe in the waters of playing Uke. I didn't want to bite off more than I could chew monetarily, so I settled on a Kala Soprano Uke package (KA-15S). I know now that I should probably get a Concert or Tenor Uke to spread the strings and frets out a little more to give my fingers a little more room to make the chords without muting nearby strings...But I am still learning, and better yet, STILL having fun making music with my Soprano uke. So...I can't justify the expense to upgrade to a $120...$150 instrument when I'm making this one work just fine. Someday...yes. But for now the sound of my Soprano just makes me smile and feel happy. :-) Thanks for all your hard work and your help along the way. You have always been awesome!
Hi Swift Fox, check out a channel Ms.B recommends... Rich Davis is his YT name. He reviews quality inexpensive uke's. Aklot, Caramel, etc. I bought an electric Caramel Baritone for under $100, it's great! All the best
@@arc1105 Hey ARC! Thank you. I'll check him out. :-)
Well, I have the little Ohana sopranissimo in the willow eggplant color as well (love it!), 4 sopranos (including the lovely Bernadette Flyte which I love, a Waterman, a Dolphin and a vintage Islander), 2 concerts (one with a low G), 4 tenors (1 with a low G) including an Outdoor tenor and one of the Enya's made of the laminate, a baritone (D,G,B,E) and a 1920 Maybelle Slingerland banjolele! Got a new baritone waiting at home tuned to G,C,E,A. Yes, I am a hoarder as well! But ukuleles are like children - they have their own unique style, personality and voice! You have to love them all!
I have Cordoba Soprano, Lanikai Concert, Enya Tenor and Lanikai Bari. My favorite of my own is the Concert Lanikai. From the video I like the Kala Tenor...but I like the design of the Enya Concert...and the Sopranissimo is so cute...so many Ukes to love and enjoy!
Chelsea Munoz you have some great ukes!! Sounds like you do your research 😉
Is it bad that I want all of them🙃
😂😂😂 they’re all just so cute and unique it’s hard not to. I’m going to be giving the sopranissimo away on Instagram. Stay tuned.
Good explanation, I did a ton of research before buying my first uke but I still learned some things here. Kitty singing backup was pretty great, mine can't stand it when I play lol
Cr8z13 glad you liked the kitty backup singing 😂 he was trying to get out of the room.
What did you learn, if I may ask?
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic I'd never seen or heard of the two sizes smaller than soprano, and now I know how they sound, too. 😊
I bought one pineapple soprano from China, but never came, so I'm going to buy from a local seller a pineapple concert. In the end the uke not comming made me go to a store e TEST them. Even I loved the soprano, concert suits my hands better, and I'm already guitarrist and bassist, will be easier to learn on a concert!
Cheers from Brasil!
This video is a total joy to watch and to listen to!! Thank you for making my day! 😁 😁
I thought that there are only 4 Different Ukelele.😁 And now i know it up to 8 Different Ukelele. Thank you Maam for this informative Video 💗👍
I have one Concert size.😁
Xelstein Manzano thank you so much, Xelstein! Glad you enjoyed this video and learned something from it :)
Woohoo! The Blue Enya made an appearance yet again! I was so excited to see that. I have one too and love it! Play it a lot. I LOVE your enthusiasm in this video! I am considering a Tenor and your enthusiasm for it here made me want one more! I have little hands and short fingers but still want one! I think you have a slight thing for Ukulele's ;) I get it .. thanks to you and your channel. You and your community are awesome!
Wendy Young I love that blue enya so much. It was one of the ukuleles I fell in love with and couldn’t believe I had. I’m glad you like yours too!! It’s a great uku
Hi Bernadette, now that I've read all the comments, I don't feel so bad anymore being a collecting person myself 😚. Thank you for all your videos that help me improve step by step. I only have soprano ukes though my fingers are not as slim and long as yours. I have a enya pineapple, a baton rouge noir, a hricane and and a flat iz (for the shiny looks) and also a plastic one for the beach😊, and they all sound different. I am looking forward to more tutorials! Greetings from Germany
torlundy2003 yeah! You definitely don’t have to feel bad! Many of us here are collectors ;)
I have a soprano and a Concert. I also have in transit to me as I type this a Tenor and another Concert.
Your right ONE is never enough!!
I ordered another Concert to put the low G on it while still having the high G on the other. The Tenor will be a new experience for me as it will be my first. Will have to let you know how I like it later after strings have stretched and setteled in.
BB Ukes ahhh yess! Let me know what you think of the low G when you get it!
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic Hunny child you know I will!
I have a Kamaka Pineapple Soprano Ukulele. I got it about 28 years ago. I love ALL of them!
Hello Bernadette! Watching from Roseville, CA!
Hi Nena! Sending hugs to you from Imperial Valley! 🤗
Hey Nena, greetings from Sonora, Ca! We're practically neighbors... LOL. Cheers!
@@SeanVplayer hmm... sounds like I need to go to the area! ;)
Oh my, loved this video & will share it with new-to-ukes friends in search of the right size info. Thk you!
I guess I must let go of some of my uke children; I have at least 1 of each except tiny soprano and the bari. My fave of all is my "Joy," a gorgeous KoAloha tenor w low G. (Have 2 more tenors.) I have 3 concerts, and I agree with you about ease of fingering those tougher chords. I go w my concert for certain songs. I also have a beloved BANJOLELE, concert size--love it! I also like my travel Flight & the other 2 sopranos, but I tend to play concert over soprano.
I would love to have a baritone strung GCEA--that deep sound is divine!
Happy to be one of your patreons,
Betty
Danke für den schönen Überblick Bernadette🤗 Ich habe eine Flight Concert Ukulele.
Thank you too, Gerhard! Will you be going to Berlin Uke Fest in October? I’m planning on being there :)
Awesome video, thank you! I have a Sopranonissimo, yes the tiny Chihuahua and the frets are so close. But it is a family heirloom in mahogany and has nice sound. I hope to someday find a nice Tenor. I am used to playing guitar, and when you make comparisons it is helpful. Your videos are awesome for us newbie learners. Keep up the wonderful work! :)
Wonderful video. I learn a lot from the comparisons.
Ellen Black thank you so much, Ellen. I’m glad you found this informative :D
I love this video Bernadette! Thank you for this amazing video!❤️
Hi Ecia! 👋🏼 you are so lovely! And I loooove your covers on Instagram :) once I get back on a good schedule I would absolutely love to collab with you!
I have the enya concert at home. Listening to all the comparison is so nice. I think that I love all but specifically the sunstar soprano and the kala tenor. It's just how the music gets me to my ♥️. ohhh and your cat was talking to you in the background...😻 wanting some attention. 😄
petitsourcil hey, when I heard the recording I also thought the sunstar and the kala stood out! Those are beautiful ukus :)
That sopranissimo definitely has a big voice! It also looks so cute and tiny in comparison to the baritone. I think when getting another ukulele I’d definitely look into a tenor and/or pineapple shape. Right now I have a concert 😁
Hi Joey!
Yes, the sopranissimo is so adorable and so loud for its size!
Hi l am Shrinidhi Dutta.
I am an Indian girl and I am 9 years old.
I have a tenor ukulele. My favorite is the baritone ukulele. I love your videos. Lots of love and positive wipes.
I have one concert and after i watched this video, i want to buy a baritone. I love the sound of it thanks to you !!❤❤
This is super useful to people who are still deciding which size they'd want to buy! Thank you Bernadette, I love it!
Thank you too, Miss Van :) So happy to have you here!
Bernadette Teaches Music ❤️❤️❤️
Ahola loved your vid. Thank you. I have a tenor and your gorgeous Flight for my travels.....after watching this I'm very excited about the low G!!!! enjoyed the sound of the Kala... watch this space! LOL Have a nice evening/morning/afternoon. ( I'm in the UK on GMT time).. :)
Awww 🥰 thank you so much, Carol. I really appreciate that! Hope you get a low G soon. You will LOVE it!
The chihuahua ukulele is so cute! And much louder than it looks 😁
I love your videos! One day I want a tenor and a baritone. I bought my first Uke. I didn't like pineapple shapes but fell in love with a PKC-10. I was willing to spend more but I heard this one and fell in love. I also ordered an Enya EUC MAD in Black also. Oh my! I'm in trouble, I think I'm hooked on Ukes! lol
This video is amazing. I like all six sizes. I don’t have any ukuleles myself sadly. But I think my favorite size are the 4 smaller sizes considering I’m a shorter person at just over 5 feet tall.
Yessss!!!! New video!
This is awesome!! But that's not enough. 5 strings, 6 strings, long neck, banjolele, and resonator and oil can uke and electric uke and tahitian and I'm dying. I want all of them 😂😂😂
Irvan Sigufi yesssss! You are right. I need to make an “unusual ukuleles” video but I need a more creative title. What do you think?
Loved this video. I recently purchased a Ohana DIY Pineapple concert that I am having painted as well. I'm hoping to get it painted to look like an actual pineapple 😂
Oh no way!! I hope you share photos on Instagram ir on Facebook! I want to see it when it’s done :)
Not the video we deserve but the video we need. Thank you Bernadette. ❤️
The next time you give away a concert size Uke...you might want to send one to me 😍 as far as the Philippines ❤❤❤
Sweetheart Villas 😁😁😁 that’s a great idea! I would like to visit the Philippines soon. Where do you recommend I go?
😍❤️
Im from philippines too
Bernadette Teaches Music to buracay its beutifull there
1Beavercreek soprano, 1 concert Twisted Wood, 1 concert Fender (Grace V). May change the Twisted Wood to low G, like the sound. Thanks for sharing. 🙋♀️🐶🇨🇦
I have EVERY size that you showed … my Sopranissimo sounds like a music box ((it is GCEA with special Aquila strings colaborated between them and iUke)). I have 44 ukuleles so far, 4 of which I built. I have electric and acoustic, four 8-string Ukes ((one is my own build)), and one is a double-neck. Almost everything is featured amongst my videos, except my very special 8-string isn’t yet unveiled! 💚
Their is even smaller ones such as from Andys ukuleles he makes Nano and picollo sizes,then Tiwi mini ukuleles make ones he calls,keychain,pocket and minuette,and I'm not shure about the size but Antica ukuleleria make ones called the Allegro 😊😊😊😊 hope this is helpful!
VirusError thank you! I knew there had to be someone out here who knew for sure :D
I have a soprano (maple, Hola!), and concert (mahogany, Luna), and a tenor (mahogany, Suzuki). I love all of them, but i think I'm going to get a low-g tenor or a travel soprano next!
Hi Anna! Since you already have a soprano, you might enjoy the low G tenor next ;)
I had a soprano that I loved but somebody swiped it, I have a concert now, and I’m saving up for a tenor, and another soprano. I wouldn’t say I’m a uke hoarder but definitely a hoarder of some sort my collection including an assortment of percussion instruments from egg shakers to a cajon drum and a clarinet I haven’t touched since 6th grade band is now 11 strong and counting. I like the soprano and it travelability
I started learning to play the ukulele about 3 weeks ago. I have a concert size Luna Tatoo, I am so excited that I came across your channel! :)
Love my Kala Tenor. Interested in the Baritone. Great vid....thanks Berny.
I just love all of your videos♥ I am new here I mean it have just been 3 days I've subscribed your channel thank you so much for everything ma'am♥
Babita Basumatary hi Babita! Welcome to this community! I am so happy you’re here! I hope you are having fun learning ukulele :) feel free to comment any questions you have!!
I'm so happy that you replied my comment this was the first time I've ever commented on RUclips video♥ I love you ma'am you're really nice♥
Nice demo of all the different sizes. I own a tenor.
Thank you, Johnny! Glad you liked this demo :)
It would be cool if you could do a video on the different types of ukulele strings. What do you think of the D'Adario Titanium strings. For for those that don't know they are not actually made out of titanium but apparently I read that there are some type of titanium fibers in the strings itself. I just bought a set of those but I have not installed them yet
I love this idea. I think I would want to get the same ukulele but have different strings on each one so we could compare. Thank you for this!!
I currently have a soprano that was gifted to me which is what I learned with and an Amumu concert Uke! I love the concert size and have an Enya concert size on the way!
I love that sopranino! Very well could be my next one!
Hi Ms. B, I still have my Luna concert, I have Aquila Reds strings with low G, a Cordoba tenor with Aquila Reds, low G, a Caramel baritone, Aquila Reds, low G, and, thanks to an Incredibly Sweet, Generous, Wonderful teacher that has been a constant source of inspiration, a Donner UBass. All my ukuleles are acoustic/electric. I will probably soon acquire some that are 'just' acoustic. At that point I will probably have a couple of them with the traditional high G. I had a Mitchell baritone that was acoustic, but that went to a friend that was struggling with trying to play a soprano ukulele. I miss the beautiful tone of that instrument. I have been following you transition from a school teacher in Japan to a world-wide ambassador to all the other ukulele teachers here on RUclips. Maybe sometime when I return to visit my family in Southern California I will finally get to meet with you face to face. Or sometime you might find yourself in Northern California and I can attend an event you're participating in here. As usual I have rambled on for far too long. Blessings to you. Cheers!!
SeanVplayer Helloooooooo! It is so nice to hear from you!! How are you? How’s the bass uku?! Are you coming to LA Uke Fest in September?!
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic I wish I could! I have two weddings and my bi-annual Jimmy Buffett party in September. I am completely booked in September. When and where is the uke fest taking place? I have been making regular use of the UBass. People have been loving the sound, and it has it's own special visual appeal. I am going to be putting on a set of Aquila 91U THUNDER REDS. Hoping they live up to the great reviews. I will catch up to one of your sessions soon. Let me know if the Donner UBass needs to come home.
I can hear KIt Kat meow during the last part of the video lol She made it purrrrfect!
Casey McNamara 😂😂 the kitties always find a way into the videos
You are a very talented, funny entertaining nice voice and a great teacher best wishes Kinnon.
I liked the baritone and of course the smallest size. I’ve been really wanting to get a ukulele, but I don’t have the money at the moment.
I have two concert ukes and two saprano ukes, but it seems I always grab my oscar schmidt concert the most even though i prefer the saprano sound. All high g. Looking into getting a pineapple soon, just can't decide on which one.
Mike Bird hi Mike! Enya has a laminate pineapple ukulele that’s super reasonably priced and it comes with all the accessories and gig bag. Let me know if you’d like a link to that.
Back when I worked in a classroom, I had a class set of Oscar Schmidt ukuleles and I LOOOOOOVED them. They had a great sound.
I have a concert and a tenor. I like the tenor the most, but when the chords are all over the fretboard I get out my concert.
😂😂😂 I do the same, but I reach for the soprano!
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic I don't have a soprano...yet. 😜
@@awarenessvillage ahhh... yet ;)
I have a Makala soprano and a Kala Exotic Mahogany concert. The concert is my fav all the way because I just love the sound, and as you mentioned, the E chord is easier to reach. Tbh I find the E chord a bit hard to reach on the soprano, which I guess is because the frets are so close together. I definitely agree that concert size is the happy medium! I love that, at least in Kala's Exotic Mahogany line, the concert has a full sound but not overly so like I find tenors to have (or maybe it's just because I prefer brighter tones over warmer ones). Plus, I have fairly short fingers, so I couldn't see myself being able to reach the more "stretchy" cords on a tenor or bari.
I have a plastic soprano, an electric (oil can) soprano, a concert (electro-acoustic) and a banjo-uke (soprano size).
I want all the other sizes! But recently I was planning on buying a tenor or maybe even a baritone. (Or a tenor guitar. Ok, I'm obsessed.)
I usually think of soprano size when I think of pineapple ukuleles. All my pineapples are soprano except for my Kanile’a pineapple tenor that you saw at NAMM.
Will Peralta yes, most pineapples are soprano, I was lucky to get a concert size in my hands!
I agree Kit Kat! Baritone is by far the best!
I have a tenor and a soprano from Lanikai. And now I'm waiting for a chance to own my dream - Enya Nova U Carbon Pink.
I have 6 Sopranos, 2 Concerts and 2 tenors. Brands I have include Magic Fluke, Fender, Klos, Kala, Enya, Flight, Octopus. None of them have a low G... something that I wanna remedy someday. I would like to have a resonator and a banjolele or two down the line and a sopranino or sopranissimo as well... and more "ordinary" ones too! I am trying to not impulse buy ukes though!I LOVE the look of that Sunstar soprano! *_*
mcstabba ohhhhh you should definitely ,ale one of your uses a low G!! I would probably do it with the Enya ;)
My arthritic and large man fingers ache with imagined discomfort with the new realization that there are even two smaller ukuleles beyond soprano, that would frustrate the heck out of me to play. I’ll stick to tenor and ‘normal’ sized frets. :)
I have a black kala soprano and a dark brown mckayla concert. I really want a tenor or a baritone, cost is the only thing that's been holding me back!💲💲💲
Hi Julz Hall, check out Rich Davis YT channel (Ms.B recommends his channel) he reviews quality inexpensive ukuleles. Aklot, Caramel, uke's. Bought an electric Baritone he recommended for under $100! He even reviews ukes that have a factory blemishes (sometimes one tiny little scratche) that don't effect the sound and are soooo inexpensive. All the best
Definitely check out Rich's channel. He steered me to some great inexpensive ukuleles that I then tweaked with strings and decals. Caramel, Kmise and Allot have solid woods that are lovely sounds and inexpensive.
@@arc1105 thanks, I'll definitely check out their channel!
@@thenaturalmd thanks that's a really good idea!
Very informative. Is your cat singing along with the baritone? I love my baritone tbh. My son says its his fave too. Not very uke sounding though so appreciate that.
mychildrensmother10 thank you! Glad you found this informative :)
And yes, Arigato wanted out of the room, but I was not going to stop recording! I was almost done!! 😂
I love the baritone size sound, but it scares me! I own two concert uke, my Lanikai has a Low G string, and two travel soprano ukes, one is an Oscar Schmidt and the other is your uke Ms. B!! I really want to add a tenor and baritone ukulele to my collection. Concert size ukuleles are my fav, but I love the tone of tenor and baritone ukuleles the best.
Thank you, Bernadette!
Ami!!! Hey :)
Thank you too!
I have tiny hands... Really like the low G tenor and baritone voices but know myself, got not enough motivation to stretch and practice. Tried that with a guitar I still own but haven't played in years. So I have one soprano and 2 concerts. :)
I think there are low g string sets for concert ukes out there! Maybe that's an optiom for you c:
@@doanmusic2891 Yes, I know there is. Thank you. That maybe an option for me a little bit later. 😊
I have the Enya KUC-MAD blue and absolutely love it!!!! I want your Signature Flight Ukulele. Every time I check it is out of stock. Will it be coming back?
Karen Seidel hi Karen! I love the blue uku as well :) and yes, I believe they’re bringing it back!
Thanks for the advice freaky fingers 😂😂😂🤚🖐✋🏼 I would Love to add a tenor to my collection. I have a concert (beginner one but looking to upgrade) and a soprano and your travel soprano. I don’t have long fingers but I’m willing to uke yoga 🧘♀️ and give it a go on the tenor! I think they look grander too! The sopranissimos are sooo darn cute... great to take everywhere! ♥️♥️♥️
I love my concert uke - it has such a happy voice and sounds so joyful! Buuuuut... I also want a tenor with the low g (unwound, gosh I don’t like the string noise). If anyone has a recommendation for low g unwound that is good quality, let me know! Btw, I personally prefer the fluorocarbon strings to the nylgut. That’s just me, though. Happy strumming everyone!
commenting so if anyone suggests anything i get a notif too hehe
Yep, I want in on this too. I have a tenor with wound low g. I mostly love it but hate the scratchy noise when I change chords.
The D'Addario EJ99TLG Pro-Arté Carbon Ukulele Strings, Tenor Low G are not wound and sound quite lovely. They made an inexpensive Hola tenor sound very nice for me.
@@thenaturalmd Thank you so much for the recommendation! I'll definitely check them out :)
My ears really liked that sunstar. Bern, you should check out the eddy finn moon uke, i think you would like it. Great comparison video, gordita!
😍 the teal concert
The sound of the ukulele so beautiful, can I have a concert and soprano! I would like a tenor size!
I have a couple of sopranos, pineapple, concert and sopranino and sopranissimo. Easiest to play is concert, most fun to play is my sopranissimo
Sylvia Morales sopranos Simon is super duper fun 😆😆😆
I have a tenor, maybe in the future I'll put a low G on it cause it sounds really good. Also I'd like to have a soprano for travelling. Thank you for the video, I'd never seen sopranissimo before:)
Great video and demo of the sizes and sounds! I have been playing with a Makala Concert for about 6 months now and seeing this video tempted to get one more to the collection (i am afraid i am going to be one of those 'hoarders' :-)). So which one would you recommend as the second ukulele for a novice of my experience? I can make chords and strum decent (thanks to your videos of course!)
I have a soprano and a concert. I adore my concert so much, I love that there is plenty of space for my fingers compared to my soprano ( I have fat fingers lol) and I love the sound. Next on my list is tenor, and then sopranissimo(it's so cute!).
Thank you for letting us know why you like your concert ukulele! This is so helpful to anyone who is shopping around trying to determine which one would be the best size to buy!
I was in doubt between the sopranino and the sopranissimo but I'm going to buy the bigger then if I like the size I’ll buy the smallest 😂🙏🏼💜 I trust you. Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Excellent comparison vid Ms.B. Concerts my next uke. A Chihuahua uke, nice😂 Was that a Kitty adding lyrics?😀 Happy day
😂😂😂
Yes! That was Arigato trying to get out of the room!!
I enjoyed this video so much! Well, I enjoy all your videos with multiple ukuleles in them coz I get to drool and admire them all from afar! 😂😂😂 Thanks for this Bernadette!!! ❣❣❣
You don't sound dumb at all!!! The tenor is my favorite size as well because of the same reason as yours plus I find that my stiff fingers can move more comfortably in the tenor fingerboard. 👍👍 Although you are right, it's a big stretch when doing the more complicated chords...I have short, stubby fingers! 🤪 But overall I still love them!
But after the sound demo, I love the sound of the baritone the most!!!!!! Aaaahhhh!!!! 💓💓💓💓💓
The Enya EUT-70 continues to be one of my favorite sounding and playing tenor size Ukes for under $100.
i love the first one 😭
l only have suprano however like it
Yes, the first one is one of my all time favorites!
I have two Tenor's and my mom has a concert and tenor I like the sound of the the tenor the most it's just a rich sound
Hi Janine! What types of ukes are they? Brand/wood? I’m curious 🤗🤗
Bernadette Teaches Music I have a luna high tide koa and a tenor where i don’t know the wood from and my mom has a morgan spruce tenor
Janine Rietveld ahhhh! Spruce is my absolute favorite! My baritone is a spruce top :)
Great video.
Very well put together :)
Thank you, Kevs!
I currently have 2 concerts. I've been thinking about changing one of them into a low G!
Thank you Ms.B for this video~❤️ I was always wondering what's the best kind of ukulele for me because I have smaller hands than my little sister. I really want to try them all especially the concert ukulele 😍... 😆 hehe
I currently have a soprano and I really want a tenor because I love the sound. However, I have small hands, so realistically will it be impossible for me to reach some of the harder chords? Will practice and finger stretching make it easier?
Hi Cam! 👋🏼 you can certainly play tenor with small hands, but it will take you a little more effort than someone with naturally longer fingers. I had young Japanese students who played tenor, so it was definitely possible. Like you said, practice and finger stretching will make it possible 🤗
Hello Cam Thanks for bringing this up. I am in the same boat. I really want a tenor but concerned about small hands. Although I think about how even the largest ukes are smaller than trying to play a guitar!
Bernadette Teaches Music Thanks so much for the response! I think I’ll take the plunge and try it out. 🤗
Shannon Duarte Glad I’m not alone! I thought about the whole guitar thing as well and that gives me hope.
Hi Bernadette. I've been subbed to your channel for about a year and playing ukulele/ yookalaylee/ ookalele for almost two years, and I still learned something from this video. Thank you. I have two questions though:
Did the baritone have different chord shapes? What does it sound like if I use the shapes I know?
Also, when is the Uma competition winner to be announced?
Thank you for your videos. Looking forward to more collaborations with Ten Thumbs and Ukulele Cheats.
Hi Kelsey!
Thank you for being subscribed! The winner was chosen, I am waiting for her to receive the uku and to let me publish her :)
Baritone has different chord shapes. All of the tutorials I have made in 2019 have bari chords ;)
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic Aha. That's the part of your tutorials I skip. I don't own a bari (obviously), maybe a purchase for the future. I think it's a bit too guitary for me though.
Shame I missed out on the Uma. The pulse is so beautiful.
Hi, I'm still stuck with my first and only tenor uke. I cannot afford to hoard. I have found a music store 50km away that say they could lower the action, and I plan on getting that done when I can.
I liked the baritone the most of the bunch.
Oh, you will notice a big difference when the action is lowered :D
I love the kitties singing along! Give them snuggles from our two cats (Murray and BuckE).
Hahaha yes, Arigato was trying to get out of the room, but I wasn’t about to stop recording!
I have never played guitarlele before, but Terry from Uke Like The Pros RUclips channel has tutorials for it, I believe ;)
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic What's wrong with you?!? You don't have every-kind-of-UkuleleAcquisitionSyndrome? LOL Just kidding. If you got a hold of a guitalele, I believe we'd be learning that from you, as well. :) Yes, I've seen Terry's videos and tutorials. For todayyyyyyyy, I will stick to the uke and make improvements. I am thankful for you and your community. A insta I watched of Maria has definitely challenged me to up my "focused" practice.
@@cherrytang1946 aaahahaha!!! 😂😂😂that's hilarious!!!!
I LOOOVE THEEEE HIGH G TENOOOOR 😭😭💓💓
Hi Bernadette! I play 2 Tenors. But I'm going to change one of them to Low G. The baritone sounded a little bit like a guitar to me. Are the frets farther apart on the baritone then on the tenor? I have thick fingers and so for me I think the tenor works out pretty good. I tried playing a soprano wants but I felt like it was very difficult for my thick fingers. You are right about The fact that the E Chord Is a little harder to make because of the stretch. You did a really good job on this video doing your comparison. Out of all the who Ukuele you played, My favorite sounding one was the Pono Tenor. In my opinion I also think that is also the most beautiful one and your collection. I believe that one retails for $300 if I'm not mistaken
Striking Tiger- Filipino Martial Arts hi! I think you’ll love having a low G tenor!
And yes? The baritone frets are farther apart than on tenor ukulele. If you’re most comfortable on tenor, I think you’ll enjoy bari too.
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic Thank you for your help. I'm proud to have you as my teacher. I'm a teacher as well but I'm a student first. As Bruce Lee would say, never let your cup get full. Always be striving for knowledge.
You need to add guitalele, banjolele and u-bass to your collection :) And maybe one of these made from oil can :) And some electric one :P Still a lot of ukuleles to collect :)
That Pono tenor😍
Yes.... That Pono!
