tenor or concert?

gabzuke · Jul 12, 2009

i have a samick greg bennett uk 70 im not sure if its a concert or a tenor.
the concerts ukuleles dont have double dots on the 12th fret but mine does
but when i check the net for uk70 tenors, it don't show any, only the concert. what do i do? this confuses me with what strings to order >< help :anyone:

Interesting, I just did a quick search and see what you mean. Here is one link to a concert size with these specs. Total length 58.5 cm, 38 cm scale length, 17 frets, fretboard width at saddle 36 mm. Try measuring. My guess is yours is a concert from a batch that got a 12th fret double dot fingerboard.

Double dot aside, I believe the appropriate guide more on size:

Soprano - from 19” to 21”

Concert 23” to 24”

More importantly though is the scale length: Measured from nut to saddle

Soprano - 13"

Concert - 15”
