I prefer the soprano. I started trying to learn the acoustic guitar. While looking for guitar tutorials for many of the songs I like I kept running into ukulele tutorials. So, I tried the baritone ukulele which was better but most of the the tutorials were in GCEA. I tried some GCEA strings on my baritone and it did not sound right.
I originally bought into the ‘big hands’ misconception so I got the larger scales first, concert and tenor. I wanted a travel ukulele, so I purchased a soprano. Perfect. Love the size, love the feel, and love the sound of the soprano. I gave away the guitar, baritone, tenor, and concert and now I only have a soprano.
Sometimes I feel the ‘upgrade to a concert/tenor’ or ‘soprano may be to small’ type comments are not fair. It seems the only sopranos that get universal love are vintage Martin or other vintage ‘K’ types made of exotic woods, and our buddy Timms of course. I never seen one of those being called ‘too small’ all I read about is the sweet vintage sound. Well, I also like the sweet modern sound of the soprano. I also think the ‘tenors are too big’ comments are unfair, but I digress…
“Ode to Soprano” by dgame
Long live the soprano
In big hands or small
Long live the soprano
The standard of them all
Long live the soprano
The old ones and the new
Long live the soprano
You should get one for you
Long live the soprano
For the adult and for the kid
Get a properly setup soprano
You will be glad you did
