Detail 01
Concert body
Bigger than a soprano with a longer 15 inch scale. More volume, more room between frets, easier for adult hands.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Concert-size ukulele with a spruce top and rosewood back and sides. For beginners and casual players who want more body than a soprano.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Adults starting ukulele who find soprano necks cramped
- Singing and strumming at home or around a campfire
- Players wanting a brighter attack than an all-mahogany uke
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing to plug into a PA; there is no pickup
- Players wanting the small, plinky traditional soprano sound
- Lead playing high up the neck — no cutaway blocks access
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Spruce top
Brighter and more articulate than mahogany. Strums cut through and individual notes stay separate.
Detail 03
Rosewood back and sides
Dense and reflective. Adds low-end warmth and sustain under the spruce top's brightness.
Detail 04
Compensated saddle
Angled per string so fretted chords stay in tune up the neck, which cheap straight saddles do not do.
Detail 05
1 inch nut width
Narrow spacing typical of ukulele. Fingerpicking is tight if you have wide fingertips.
Detail 06
1.8 lb, 23.25 inches long
Light and short enough to travel with, and it fits in most overhead bins and backpack-style gig bags.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No pickup or preamp, so amplifying means adding one or using a mic
- 02New ukulele strings stretch for a week; expect frequent retuning
- 03No case, strap or tuner listed as included
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is the difference between concert and soprano?
Concert has a larger body and longer scale, so it is louder, fuller, and has more space between frets. Same tuning, so chord shapes carry over directly.
02Can I plug it in?
No. There is no pickup or preamp. You would need an add-on pickup or a microphone to amplify it.
03Is the high gloss finish going to show fingerprints?
Gloss shows fingerprints and smudges more than a satin finish. A quick wipe with a dry cloth handles it.
04Does it reach the higher frets easily?
There is no cutaway, so the body blocks your hand past about the twelfth fret. It has 16 frets total, but the top few are hard to use.
