I’m a guitarist looking to buy my first uke, and doing a fair amount of research before buying.
I’ve noticed that often when I see photos of soprano or concert ukes they appear to be bigger than they actually are! This is especially true with arty photographs showing off fancy builds with flash woods. Without a visual reference my eyes seem to imagine they’re looking at something roughly guitar-sized, but each time I see a uke in a music shop I’m reminded how dinky they actually are.
I suppose I just need to see and play a few to get used to them, and to be able to easily differentiate between a soprano and a concert.
