Hi, I have 2 concert ukes a Kala KA C and Kamaka hf2.
In the future should I look at a soprano or Tenor uke, or
stick with the concert size which Iam comfortable with.
:anyone:
Are you acquiring the soprano or tenor just to experiment with a different size, or is there some particular sound you want for musical reasons? The goal for the acquisition impacts the answer.
Going up or down in size while retaining standard tuning (high-G GCEA) will give a slightly different sound, but is more of a "feel" thing. If the concert fretboard feels a bit cramped, then a tenor may be a better fit. If the concert feels fine, odds are the soprano also will, and the soprano's slightly smaller size may have other advantages, especially for travel.
If one wants to try different sounds, then experiments with tuning (at minimum, going low-G) through string change on a concert is an inexpensive alternative. Sopranos and low-G often don't often go well together, but tenors take well to low-G. So, if feel is not the issue, trying low-G on a concert will give an idea of the potenial of a tenor.
The suggestions of 6-string and 8-string tenors are good ones. However, having some tenor experience (or alternatively 12-string guitar or mandolin experience) would probably be wise before acquiring a 6-string or 8-string.
There's always the concert-sized banjo uke, if the goal is to shake things up a notch.
Personally, am not a real fan of sopranos, but I'm not into the Hawaiian genre where the soprano shines. I've got two (a Flea and a KonaBlaster), but they are "special purpose" instruments. The Flea is the in-the-trunk(boot), available for thise times I'm out somewhere and the circumstances for play occur. The Konablaster is steel-stringed and a rocker, good for those times when matched against/with an electric guitar.
