@@gamergirl4life379 Sorry, thought you might be giving Terry shade. Had I *heard* your comment, I (probably) would have understood your intent. One of the limitations of online communication. Thx!
Thank you so much for all the info. I appreciate how you played the same tune on each one, and posted several links where we could find the prices of each uke.
Hey, I just wanted to pop up here real quick. When I was first buying a ukulele, I knew absolutely nothing about ukuleles. I bought a Stagg US-RED ukulele and I wanted to recommend it for all the confused people out there. I have seen plenty of cheap ukuleles in my life, but this one is the bet one yet. It's really cheap, you can get it for as little as 35 euro in lots of places. It is well-made, definitely does not look like it would break when playing a little harder. It looks clean, sounds amazing, it has pretty soft strings, so it's perfect for people that have never played a string instrument before. It's tiny and handy. I have it for 2 years now, no defects, looks almost like new. This is my full honest opinion, and it is not biased or influenced in any way. I highly recommend this ukulele and i hope I helped :)
Lots of models to agree with on that list. Nice to see a 'best of' video that doesn't just go with Amazon choices that are paid to be there! Can't argue with these!
GotAUkulele well said Baz. So many paid advertorials out there. It’s hard to find honest info sometimes. Your blog/channel being the exception of course!
At this point I reckon I could hand you my pencil case and you'd be able to play something amazing-sounding on it. Thanks for this video - you helped me realise that spending a ton on a new uke is not going to automagically gift me with the skill to play it, and sticking with my little beginner uke is fine for now. :)
Really useful and excellent review! I appreciate the talk of the structural differences; scale length, etc. Excellent! I'll check out your other offerings.
I'm very attracted to an uke, so far I'm thinking of getting either a Kala or Luna, which would you recommend me the most? And btw, I'm interested in concert or tenor size, thanks!
@@jjblank both are great choices they both sound about the same they both have pretty low action but if you are looking for a more sturdy colorful one go with eh flight one but if you are looking for a more traditional design then go with the kala
I'm in Mexico near Compostela. Am inspired to start learning an instrument. Ukulele suits my needs. Thanks to this video I now know I want a tenor. Thanks
Obviously, the teardrop-ish one caught the most attention. If I were in the market for a wooden stringed instrument, I'd pick one of those up, and I've been eyeing a no-name brand long rectangular-ish one, too. I do wonder how things would have gone for the ukulele in popular perception had makers really tried to differentiate their pieces from guitars instead of going for the toy-guitar look. Addendum. That ST-Concert, as it's called, is hard to criticize from my ivory tower. Bigger neck for easier playing while keeping the form factor of a soprano with the deep sound of a more spacious body, and it looks sharp to boot. More things ought to be engineered like that; any dime-a-dozen corporate copy-paste job is a waste in my eyes. Come on, it doesn't matter how much you paid for one "traditional" ukulele if no one bats an eye as you busk in the street.
Wow! Nice video. Very nice ukes. I wish i have one like that. I have made my own uke from rubbish woods and materials.... but im very happy because it works even the sound is not that good. 😄😄😄 im from the philippines.
Very interesting... about to buy my first Uke and wondered where I can get hold of the ST-concert... link above doesn't work!! also, which other 'concert' uke's would you suggest? thank you
Great review! Thanks for hosting and giving a lot of great information. Can you name some of the commercials with ukulele music? I want to play some of them but can't remember! Stay safe and well 💕💕🎵🎵
I know very little, but I disagree with most of these. Basically the suggestions are too expensive for a beginner who might get bored in a week. If you want a decent cheap Ukulele, then go to Amazon/fleabay and get something like a Kmise branded concert uke in mahogany or saple. it will cost you about 50 gbp probably have all the kit with it; bag tuner strap etc, and be more than good enough for your first year of practice. Don't buy a cheap plastic one. Don't get a soprano unless you have small hands, because you will not enjoy it as much as a concert size. If a total beginner, don't get a baritone, because it's really a 4 string guitar and you'll be the odd one out at ukulele band camp. With hindsight, I should probably have got a tenor rather than a concert, just because I'm used to playing guitar and sometimes size does matter. However the concert size I have is extremely good build quality with good inotation, a lovely deep sound, and only cost £50.
Luna are nice solid instruments and reasonable priced. Do you like it? Have you taken my free ukulele fundamentals course? www.ukelikethepros.com/offers/gjeA2otd/checkout
i came from no musical family , but i wanted to have ukelele or a guitar . I found kala ,flender ,martin or kala is best according to wat i searched 😮 So which is best ? best in sound and budget for a begginer like me?
Well I'm thinking of buying the pure tone soprano ukulele cause it's like 25 bucks... But I can't find someone who has it so what's your opinion on this ukulele?
thank you for the video and comparison! I'd include for beginners also what it actually means lower and higher G :). I used to go to a musical school in Russia many years ago yet don't remember much... lovely ukes indeed!
In answer to your question, no, their stringing is not similar. Ukuleles are strung GCEA and guitars are EADGBE, so the chord shapes are nothing alike. Hope that helps.
@@lkaufman1062 Thanks, I understand that the cord shapes and tuning are different, perhaps I need to rephrase my question. Two persons wish to play the same song together, one is a guitarist, the other is on a tenor ukelele. Each musician will play the cord of C major on their instrument. Will they both be in tune using standard tuning for guitar (EADGBe) and standard Tenor uke tuning? If the answer is no, how should they tune to perform in the same key together? Thanks
My mans really be posting this in Oct. 2019, but titling it for 2020

Kala KA -ZCT-B is a beautiful uke, and the sound wow. Oh how I would love to have it.
Great demonstration of each size. I think buying from a company that offers setups is important too. 👍
Awesome video, thanks for taking the time to make it!

@@okaylol7333 im 6'2 and I use a concert lol, imo your size doesnt really matter when choosing an instrument.
Krispy ohh ok! i actually got a concert a few weeks ago, and it’s really nice :)
Kala, Flight, Kmise, Donner, Hola.. those brands are affordably great.
wierd as it sounds.. check out Fender coasline series, affordable, good kwality, and a real good looking uke
I started on a Kala KA-15s like a lot of people do but that's for a reason it's a great beginner Ukulele
Should I get this ukelele or the flight one in this video
@@jjblank both are great choices they both sound about the same they both have pretty low action but if you are looking for a more sturdy colorful one go with eh flight one but if you are looking for a more traditional design then go with the kala

I dig your white hair, awesome
I like the sound of the flight ukulele.
The bad part is the fact it is made out of plastic it is likely going to break after couple of weeks im buying the concert
Wow! Nice video. Very nice ukes. I wish i have one like that. I have made my own uke from rubbish woods and materials.... but im very happy because it works even the sound is not that good. 😄😄😄 im from the philippines.
Sounds awesome!
the baritone sounds beautiful
Thank you. Would it be appropriate for you to say something about price points as they relate to ukulele choices for beginners, intermediate advance?
Maybe you could do a review on the Mitchell soprano MU45 ukulele? I can’t find any on RUclips
Great idea. I’ll have to reach out to them
I played a Mitchel concert with a pickup yesterday and it sounded soooooo nice. I was amazed to find out that I sound much better than I thought, lol.
Very interesting... about to buy my first Uke and wondered where I can get hold of the ST-concert... link above doesn't work!! also, which other 'concert' uke's would you suggest? thank you

Do any of these have a drink holder?
Nice vid Terry. Very well explained for those wanting to play Uke.
Thank you. It’s always tricky doing videos like this with some many instruments, but fun to play a bunch of different ukuleles
Since there are more than 1 tuning, how do I know which tuning to get? 👉🏼👈🏼
I want to get a higher-quality beginner Concert. Any recommendations?
I know very little, but I disagree with most of these.

I have two choices to buy offline they are mahalo MH3 vna and techno UK 26 tenor
Which one should I buy please please do let me know 🙏🏻
I'm surprised, given that they are a major function of the instrument, no mention of strings types.
I just got a Luna Soprano Ukelele on Wednesday. My very first one. What do you think about those ?

Nice video !
Thank you
Hi can you please help me choose between concert with soild top and bone or tenor but laminate wood? I prefer fingerstyle playing
Which is the best out of the all ?
Amazing
Thankyou for your video however the price would have been helpful
Your KA-ZCT-B amazon link goes to the concert version
I do like Ookuleles
Is the Ohana SK10 comparable to the laminate Kala KA15......?
I just ordered the Ohana CK-10 for my first uke. What do you think about that particular one?
Are you happy with it?
You want a Nobel piece prize?

Can you tell me if a guitar in standard tuning is compatible with standard tuned soprano and tenor Ukes? Thanks 💕💕🎵🎵
In answer to your question, no, their stringing is not similar. Ukuleles are strung GCEA and guitars are EADGBE, so the chord shapes are nothing alike. Hope that helps.
The four highest strings on your guitar are tuned the same as a baritone ukulele.
@@lkaufman1062 Thanks, I understand that the cord shapes and tuning are different, perhaps I need to rephrase my question. Two persons wish to play the same song together, one is a guitarist, the other is on a tenor ukelele. Each musician will play the cord of C major on their instrument. Will they both be in tune using standard tuning for guitar (EADGBe) and standard Tenor uke tuning? If the answer is no, how should they tune to perform in the same key together? Thanks
@@norcalbob3838 please see my rephrased question above related to standard tuning for tenor ukelele.
If each plays the named chord for THEIR instrument their music will be compatible.
Do you say it like you Kele or ookelele
You keh lei lei
one of them are not in sale at all....
What about electric tho
The baritone doesn't make much sense to me.. Its basically a guitar with 4 strings.. with the same tuing as a guitar as well..
If you aren't comfortable with 6 strings it's nice
