I say folks, does anyone know, or have a pretty good opinion on what size Ukulele is the most popular in today’s world with professional musicians?
I would imagine that the Soprano was once hailed as not only the traditional size Uke, but also the most widely used by professionals, but wondered if that has changed.
I know styles have changed, or at least there seems more people now moving away from what I would once call the “norm”, as in strumming to popular songs, so I wondered if the attitudes have changed and now more and more are moving up to the Concert or Tenor, or maybe even starting out with those rather than the Soprano.
Or is it a case of where you live? For instance, I have not seen many people from Hawaii play old time favourites, but rather popular songs or those from the Islands.
I also don’t think it’s a case of what you want to do with the Uke that predicts which is more suited, as anything can be played on anything.
So what size would overall be most popular for the professional?
