Comfort depends on the player. I have big hands but I prefer the soprano, both for size and sound.
What are they good for? The bigger ones will hold down more paper if a fan is pointed in that direction.
Differences - the smaller the ukulele, usually the "plinkier" it gets. The larger ones usually sound more 'complex' because of the deeper voicings.
You really are going to have to play 20 or 30 ukuleles to find the right one for you. Well maybe not that many, but playing 20-30 different ukes is a lot of fun.
the tenor is usually tuned with a low G as opposed to "re-entrant"...
Hmmmm... define "usually." Just off the top of my head, doesn't the JakeMonster play re-entrant?
How about that? Thanks for the smack in the head, HH & Keonikapila. Mine arrived low-G and I had read about tenors being strung low-G and assumed that was the accepted practice. hmmmm...Yea...most of the tenor players I know string up high-G. Low-G's gaining popularity, but I don't think it's quite there yet. I know a lot of tenors, now days, are SOLD with low-G's off-the-shelf...but most of the guys I know switch em out pretty quick

I just don't want to go wrong as I spend all my money on ocarinas, which means not a whole lot left for ukuleles :rofl:
