Uke size depends on how tall you are?

How tall is a piccolo player?
How fat is a drummer?
Can a small person play bass?

Of course they can - & you can play any size uke that you want.

Eh . . . More important is if the music you want to play fits under your fingers and you like the sound.

For Me that's Tenor, but I know some seriously big dudes who play Soprano and get amazing sounds from it.

Height means nothing to ukulele players. Before I buy any uke, if I can, I hold it in playing position and ask a friend, "Does the ukulele make me look fat?"

This is the correct method.

Jake is about 5 ft 6 and Herb Ohta Jr is maybe 5 ft 4 on his tip toes. Both seem to handle a tenor pretty easily.

Smaller instruments tend to make the player appear larger than they are...
