About the size of Ukulele

Four sizes of ukuleles are common: soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone. There are also less common sopranino and bass ukuleles at the extreme ends of the size spectrum.

The soprano, often called "standard" in Hawaii, is the smallest, and the original size ukulele. The concert size was developed in the 1920s as an enhanced soprano, slightly larger and louder with a deeper tone. Shortly thereafter, the tenor was created, having more volume and deeper bass tone. The largest size is the baritone, created in the 1940s.

Type	Scale length	Total length	Tuning (Helmholtz notation)
soprano or standard	13" (33 cm)	21" (53 cm)	g'c'e'a' or a'd'f#'b'
concert	15" (38 cm)	23" (58 cm)	g'c'e'a' or gc'e'a'
tenor	17" (43 cm)	26" (66 cm)	gc'e'a', g'c'e'a', or d'gbe'
baritone	19" (48 cm)	30" (76 cm)	dgbe'

Choosing the Best Ukulele for Beginners
Soprano ukulelesare the most common size of ukulele and the most likely to make the classic "plinky" ukulele sound that most people associate with the instrument. The soprano ukulele is about 20-21 inches long, and is a good size for a child or someone with smaller hands (although many players with larger hands play soprano ukes with no problem). Soprano ukuleles can be bought cheaply, and a good one can be had - usually with a gig bag included - for about $30-50. Beware, though, of really cheap souvenir soprano ukuleles with Hawaiian scenes painted on them. They are more for displaying than playing.

Concert ukuleles, at about 23-24 inches long, are the next size up from the soprano and deliver the classic ukulele sound with a little more room to maneuver on the fretboard. They are also a little louder than sopranos, which is why they are good for concert playing.

Tenor ukuleles are 26-27 inches long and are even louder than the concert ukulele. Tenor ukuleles are usually the ukulele of choice for professional players. It's important to note, however, that tenor ukuleles are sometimes strung with a low-G string instead of the traditional high-G string, which adds more bass (because the G is an octave lower) but sounds less like a traditional ukulele.

Baritone ukuleles are the largest of the ukulele sizes, and are different from the three smaller sizes in an important way. Whereas soprano, concert and tenor ukuleles are tuned GCEA (the classic "my dog has fleas" tuning), baritone ukuleles are often tuned DGBE - the same tuning as the bottom 4 strings of the guitar.

Many ukulele players don't even consider the baritone a true ukulele for that reason, but the guitar-like tuning makes the baritone a great choice for people who want to try the ukulele and then transition to learning guitar or those who already know guitar and want to learn ukulele

Ukes - Ukuleles and Hawaii

Ukuleles are commonly associated with music from Hawai‘i where the name roughly translates as "jumping flea",perhaps due to the action of one's fingers playing the ukulele resembling a "jumping flea". According to Queen Lili'uokalani, the last Hawaiian monarch, the name means “the gift that came here”, from the Hawaiian words uku (gift or reward) and lele (to come). Developed in the 1880s, the ukulele is based on two small guitar-like instruments of Portuguese origin, the cavaquinho and the rajão, introduced to the Hawaiian Islands byPortuguese immigrants from Madeira and Cape Verde. Three immigrants in particular, Madeiran cabinet makers Manuel Nunes, José do Espírito Santo, and Augusto Dias, are generally credited as the first ukulele makers.

The OED has this to say: ukulele, n. Pronunciation: /juːkəˈleɪliː/ Also ukelele. From Hawaiian ‘ukulele, < ‘uku flea + lele jumping: see quot. 1957.

"A small four-stringed Hawaiian guitar that is a development of a Portuguese instrument introduced to the island c1879."

1957 Amer. Speech 32 309 "The machete was heard one day by the vice-chamberlain of King Kalakaua's court, who‥asked to be taught to play it.‥ This vice-chamberlain was a British army officer named Edward Purvis; but the Hawaiians‥called him ukulele because his lively playing and antics and his small build suggested a leaping flea. The new instrument became a great success,‥and someone started calling them ukeleles."

Two weeks after they landed aboard the Ravenscrag in late August 1879, the Hawaiian Gazette reported that "Madeira Islanders recently arrived here, have been delighting the people with nightly street concerts."

One of the most important factors in establishing the ukulele in Hawaiian music and culture was the ardent support and promotion of the instrument by King David Kalakaua. A patron of the arts, he incorporated it into performances at royal gatherings.

Ukes - Ukuleles

The ukulele, (pronounced /ˌjuːkəˈleɪliː/ EW-kə-LAY-lee, from Hawaiian: ʻukulele [ˈʔukuˈlɛlɛ]; variantly spelled ukelele in the UK), sometimes abbreviated to uke, is a chordophone classified as a plucked lute; it is a subset of the guitar family of instruments, generally with four nylon or gut strings or four courses of strings.

The ukulele originated in the 19th century as a Hawaiian interpretation of the cavaquinho or braguinha and the rajão, small guitar-like instruments taken to Hawaiʻi by Portuguese immigrants. It gained great popularity elsewhere in the United States during the early 20th century, and from there spread internationally.

Tone and volume of the instrument vary with size and construction. Ukuleles commonly come in four sizes: soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone.
