Hi Folks,
Any historians here that can tell me how the Concert, Tenor, and Baritone evolved from the Soprano?
Or, was a Concert size here first and then someone made a smaller one and called it Soprano?
The main reason I ask, (apart from just wanting to know from an interest point of view) is because a long story cut very short, someone pointed out that my Concert is NOT a Ukulele. They said a Ukulele is smaller!
I pointed out that there are several sized Ukulele’s and they said that might be so, but the small one is the real Ukulele.
Blah blah blah, and I said the original one WAS the Soprano, but...and then I got a bit stuck and fumbled through saying that some people wanted a slightly bigger one so someone made a Concert, so on and so forth.
Anyone know the real answer?
