How many octaves on a ukulele?

owada · Sep 12, 2018

Hi folks, how many tones can you play on a Uke? what s the lowest and highest tone? Thanks!

Depends on the tuning and number of frets.

Standard re entrant uke has almost two octaves, from C4 to A5 at the 12 fret - (to C6 at the 15th fret if yours has it).

Fit a low G string & you start at G3 - going up to F6 on concert/tenor with 20 frets.

(gCEA/GCEA tunings.)

(Baritones normally start at D3.)

This is the chart I use to identify notes on sheet music:

It shows the octave range of a 12 fret soprano with a high or low G.

Where did you get this chart?

I compiled that chart using information from this thread https://forum.ukuleleunderground.co...g-notes-on-staff-to-strings-and-fret-position and used Google image search for the piano keyboard, staff notes, and fretboard diagram.
