I have a favorite ukulele body size: soprano.
I started out thinking that I like concert sized ukuleles best (probably because my first was a concert and I just didn't know any better); but as I played more, I realized that the thin bodies of sopranos are much more comfortable for me to hold.
Each time I feel like playing the ukulele, I reach for my soprano or long neck soprano. I own more concerts than sopranos, but I don't play them. Even the new concert ukulele that's only 2 weeks old isn't getting played (well, except for its first day to mainly test it).
I find the concert body a bit too thick to hold as comfortably as a soprano. I might give Kala's travel /thinline ukuleles a try.
Interestingly, this is the only reason.
In terms of sound, I find things to like with both concerts and sopranos.. and the different woods and brands. So... it comes down to ergonomics.
I'd like to hear about your likes/dislikes? How long have you been playing? Does your favorite size change frequently?
