DJ Effects. There are many different sizes and shapes of ukuleles available. The most common sizes are soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone. Some manufacturers make other sizes and shapes, such as the smaller piccolo or sopranissimo models, bass ukuleles, banjo ukes, or the novelty pineapple shape usually in soprano size.
This article relates to the most popular, standard sizes. The sizes are not designed to match the physical size of the player, such as in fractional sizes you would see for violin and guitars. The soprano ukulele has a shallow, plinky tone. On the other hand, the tenor ukulele has a deeper, fuller, and louder tone due to its larger body and longer length of strings.
However, the tenor is tuned to the same pitches and octave as the soprano. The concert ukulele has tonal character that is between the soprano and tenor. The Baritone ukulele is the largest size in the ukulele family. It is the only size that uses a different tuning! Because the baritone ukulele has the same tuning as the top 4 strings of a standard 6-string guitar, it can be helpful to start with a baritone ukulele.
You now have the same tuning as a baritone ukulele. If you play a G chord on the guitar, you can apply the same fingering on the baritone ukulele to make the same G chord, minus the 2 strings. This can be helpful for beginners as it is much easier to play many of those shapes with fewer strings. Now that we know the relation of the Baritone ukulele tuning to guitar, we can see how the other ukuleles compare.
The smaller soprano, concert, and tenor ukuleles are tuned a 4 th higher, or 5 half steps higher than the baritone ukulele. It is this tuning that gives the ukulele its unique, characteristic sound!

Note: you may also need to have a luthier reshape the groove for the nut to accommodate a thicker string to ensure it sits properly in that groove if you decide to install the low G string.
Because of the similar tuning structure for guitar and ukulele, you can use the same fingerings to play both instruments. You will find many of the techniques carry over. If you play guitar, you can play the ukulele! Because the instruments are in a different key, you will need to transpose between guitar and ukulele.
For example, a G chord on the guitar will be a C chord when played in the same fret position on the ukulele. Classroom teachers will note this is similar to the difference between soprano and alto recorders. Soprano is the most popular size because it is less expensive and highly portable.
It has a great application as an accompaniment instrument because most of the open chords are played in the first position, within the first 5 frets. Most soprano models usually have 12 frets and are just under a 2-octave range. In the s, Big Band was in full swing. To compete with the volume and sound of the Big Band instruments, the larger-bodied concert and tenor ukulele models were developed.
