Product Information

It also has some nice visual touches you’d usually expect to find on ukes twice the price. The hand-inlaid abalone rosette lends a premium feel to it, with ivoroid binding to complete the stellar look. The ukulele as we know it took shape in Hawaii, derived from an instrument called a machete that was passed on by Portuguese immigrants. It’s commonly found with four nylon strings and smaller body than the acoustic guitar.

So far, we've been looking at the soprano uke, which is the most popular and widespread model available. But it's not alone in ukedom. The concert ukulele is slightly larger by a couple of inches and usually boasts 14 – 17 frets to the soprano's 12 – 15. Tuning is the same, but it can be easier for larger-fingered players to get their digits around its slightly bigger frame and fretboard. A concert uke should have better bass response too, but the downside is that it's not quite so portable. The S1 features an all-mahogany construction, which is much better suited to the higher range of the instrument than a brighter tonewood. It still sounds very rich and full-bodied strumming open chords, whilst retaining that typical 'plink' you'd expect from an instrument of this scale length.This Starter Kit has a lightweight and thin body, so it is simple and lovely to play with without harm to sound. Further, it has precise tuning mechanics and tuning-resistant fluorocarbon strings, shaping it into a secure, stable instrument with glossy wood. We made a list that includes a lot of choices, good beginner ukes, cheaper versions of pink ukulele, and for advanced players, there are also some great and quality options.

The basic models won't set the world on fire, but we've always found that they are fairly durable, hold their tuning okay, and despite the very low cost, they sound pretty decent. FL Studio's latest version has an iconic synth, stem separation and will upload your music to Spotify – and it's still only a point update That are four common varieties: soprano, concert, tenor and baritone. These vary in terms of size, scale length and tuning. Nowadays, some manufacturers even produce guitar-ukulele and bass-ukulele hybrids, designed to more accessible to contemporary players. Now, what's that we can hear? It's a chilled hula band – the hypnotic beat of the Pahu drum, the otherworldly sound of a lap steel in full song, and the unmistakable strum of a ukulele.
