Are soprano ukuleles the hardest to play for those with "older" hands or past hand injuries?
This is in the newest issue of Ukulele magazine:
"One reason the concert, tenor, and baritone ukes are popular is that the string width is kinder to both smaller and older hands."
I had always thought that soprano might be easier for smaller hands, (children, at least.) I realize that they are specifically mentioning string width, which leaves out other considerations, but wonder if the general consensus is that the soprano is hardest for "older" hands or those with past hand injuries.
