    Did anyone else think the pocket size was a soprano and thought this guy was a giant? Lol, great video!

    This is the best comparison demonstration I've heard. The same player, the same chord changes on each instrument, segue without TALKING in between. That was well done because the only variable was the instrument. Thanks for that.

    One of best comparisons I've seen; the strumming of each at the end was very helpful. Thanks.

    thank you, this was a very informative video with good audio. I've longed for a ukulele for a while now but since found out there is more than a few types, I checked into types of wood they were made out of and wanted a mahogany for a longer lasting instrument. with this video is FINALLY came to a conclusion that I will settling with a soprano!
    thanks again!

    This guy always gives very good reviews on Ukuleles. I'm a Drummer, but I own and play a few uke's. my main one is a Baritone, but I also have two soprano ukuleles. the Baritone is much like a regular guitar. very easy to play, and easy to write songs on.

    @intoalignment-conscioushea5621 8 лет назад

    Hey, great video, very helpful. I was lucky to come across a Kala mahogany soprano early on, so started with decent quality. I am about to begin travelling a lot so just invested in a Kala mahogany pocket, but have also been looking at a Kala tenor... the direct comparison is very useful, thanks very much!

    I bought my tenor about 3 years ago based largely on this review - it's the best £200 ever spent on an instrument IMO - beautifully made, comfortable to play (I have small hands but find the stretches not too bad) and the sound is much better than this video can show - with fluorocarbon strings it sounds even better.

  • @Lep_19
    @Lep_19 9 лет назад +33

    Personally, I think the Concert is the perfect size. While, yes, it is bigger than the Soprano, its still retains the feel of an ukulele. The Tenor, on the other hand, kind of delves more into the realm of a small guitar, which can create a bit of a strange vibe taking into account the sounds it can create. None the less, I can appreciate larger men wanting an ukulele to fit there size and comfort level.
    I love this review, by the way. Really clear in distinguishing the differences between each size. Thank you for helping me along the way of picking my ukes :)

    • @Uke_in_Flight
      @Uke_in_Flight 8 лет назад +7

      I agree, concert is the ideal size ! I even tried a long neck soprano which is a concert neck on a soprano, and prefer the concert body sized fuller tone...🎼

    @OkiCoCo I just tried one out at my store and bought it, its not a "solid wood" apparently like the one in this video. But the sound is amazing! I tried the tenor version as well, but was sold on the concert because it suits my style best.

  • @frogsiphone
    @frogsiphone 7 лет назад +3

    Would you mind putting up the chords (or tabs) for the song you used to demonstrate each size at the end of the video? I'm learning and would really like to play that tune. Great video! Thanks!

  • @TexasTeaDrums
    @TexasTeaDrums 13 лет назад +1

    @man0fsteal I tried it on mine, and every time I tuned the C string, I heard almost a cracking under the bridge. When I tried it on my friends ukulele, which was a much cheaper model, the string literally popped off. They do make GCEA strings for baritones though. If your going to be buying one, I highly recommend considering a tenor. Because you have more options, and It's a heck of a lot easier to play.

Right now I'm torn between the solid Mahogany concert and the solid Ovangkol concert. Does anyone have any insight into which ukulele I should buy?

    @UpcomingJedi 4 года назад

    Are the frets made from quality metal or are they cheap-ass soft aluminum that wears away quickly? How about string heigth at the base and top of the neck? Is it very low near the pegbox and really high near the body? In otherwords, is this a quality brand worth the money or just some indian/chinese knockoff made from apple crate woods?
