My husband is a very experienced guitar player (acoustic & electric) & has long fingers.Would this be a good uke for him?

Not being an expert.......I can only say that the concert size should work okay for him. A Baritone might be even better with his long fingers. The Kala was my first ukulele and I am glad I didn't buy a cheaper one that might have frustrated me while I was learning how to play.

My husband has very large hands (big hands and long fingers) and this uke has worked just fine for him.

No he would need a baritone model. This has a great guitar feel to it.....I own a ka sb....kala has some really nice baritone models I really enjoy......

Funny you should ask this. I have a kala tenor 4 string and a Lanikai 8 string tenor. When I played my recently aquired Willie K I realized the neck was wider than my 4 string. But it turned out to be the exact width as my 8 string. Hopefully you can easily to it. In my case, I started playing on a classical guitar, so to me any ukulele neck feels small. But if not, you could at least get an aquia Red Low G string for your uke to try out for the sound. Still, the willie k gives one the advantage of both low & hi G strings, at the extra width of 1/4 inch. with a 1/4th inch difference in width.

hello,cesar, i think it would work on a uke just as well as on a guitar. you would just have to print out a capo chord converter from the internet where you would know what chords you are playing in. if i had a uke i would not be afraid to try a capo as they are very inexpensive. sincerely, darrell owen in texas

I don't see why not, it adjusts to take up any amount of slack, regardless of the shape of the neck. There would be some overhang on a uke fretboard because it's narrower than a guitar neck though. If that bothers you, Shubb makes a capo specifically for ukes.

I believe they make one for ukelelee's... make sure you select the right one.

ukuleles are diffident in body shape, concert uke are the same i would say yes if a concert ukulele.

As far as I know, it will work for a guitar - I believe the strings for a uke are tuned to the same pitch as the strings of a guitar. It's just there are only 4 strings on a uke and more on a guitar.

Yes, but you will build up some callouses. The down side is that the finger board is wider and flat, bar chords are more difficult than steel string acoustic guitar.

My tenor uke is about 3 1/8" deep and just fits. I doubt it would fit your guitar.

I've got the OU7TE tenor ukulele and it fits it like a glove. I would assume all the Oscar Schmidt tenor ukuleles are of like size, unless stipulated, so I think it would be fine.

Should be no problem if acoustic/electric uke. If you have to use a mic then might look at Passport mini, which has dedicated mic input.

I can hang my A stylr mando and Baby Taylor in 'em. But it all depends on how wide the head is on your uke.

I would suggest a regular Ukulele rather than this. When my daughter wanted to start playing guitar (age 8) Her guitar teacher said to start with a Baritone 4 string Ukulele. Only four strings to learn at first would make it easier and less frustrating for a beginner. It worked out well her, she's 16 now and still plays and takes lessons, she was able to transition to a 6 string guitar no problem. Her second instrument was a baby martin (3/4 guitar) then Baby Strat. Next a Full sized MIM Strat, Seagull cutaway and Hoffner Bass. I did get this Guitar Ukulele the other week and she love it, she wanted something to travel with. I would suggest a regular Ukulele rather than this.

It is small and lightweight. I think it would be perfect for a 3 year old beginner instrument. I'm not sure about the other types of ukeleles available.

Sorry, it would not be a good fit. My ukulele is 3" deep, and any more would be tight.

All I can say is that this is the best uke ever! It sounds fantastic as an acoustic and rocks the house "plugged-in". If you don't have one, you should get one and try it yourself. It is by far the most popular instrument in my uke group. That might have something to do with who I am as a performer, but a lot to do with the instrument itself.

Yes, I would say so. If the action is adjusted right (which mine was, right out of the box) then it should be easy on the fingers. It's fun to play and it sounds great - and it looks great. You can get cheaper starter guitars, but if this is in your price range, go for it.
