Questions shoppers ask first

Which size should I get?+

Concert is the safe default — classic tone with a bit more finger room than soprano. Tenor suits bigger hands and guitar converts.

Why does my new uke keep going out of tune?+

New strings stretch for a week or two. Tune often; it settles. It's the strings, not the uke.

Is ukulele a good first instrument for kids?+

The best. Soft strings, small hands fit, and three chords play hundreds of songs — quick wins keep kids going.
