My hands are average in size & maybe a little on the pudgy side. Sight unseen, would it be better to get a tenor or soprano based on that?

I would recommend a tenor. I have slender fingers and the soprano is too small in scale for me.

My hands aren't very large either and I love the tenor sized uke. The tenor sized uke has a richer, fuller sound to me.

My hands fit the same description. I love the concert size. I have a soprano too, but find the concert/tenor size and sound more appealing.

Some of the reviews say it fits their soprano uk perfectly. With its heavy padding there must be some give and take. Many are pleased with the padding and quality. Give it a try. You can always send it back.

It would be a little wider than the tenor and slightly smaller than a full size guitar. Its a fun little instrument. I suffer from Ukulele acquisition syndrome ( Buying more Uks than I really need) so I play both on a regular bases the Guilele gives you the Uk sound with a guitar feel.Hope that helpsScott

I have short, chubby fingers and the medium fit me fine. I also wear a 7 1/2 wedding ring. I rely on them tremendously because I take blood thinners and just a 'prick' will bleed for hours. Much nicer looking arms since I got these.

i have both - i bought a soprano first, and then a few weeks later i bought a concert size. I enjoy playing both a lot. Unless your fingers and hands are ginormous, you should be able to play the soprano just fine. I don't think you'll go wrong with either. Aloha!

My hands are probably medium/small ... maybe glove size 7? ... and I don't have that problem. I really love these and recommend them highly.

All ukuleles are small, and if you have larger hands, you might find the short scale of a soprano to be cramped. No ukulele could be called "too big", so try to find a shop that has all four sizes and decide which is most comfortable for you. The tenor is easy to play and has more depth and "punch", but the little soprano wins on charm.

My hands are a size 7 . Also you should wear wraps for support which will take up some space.

The hole placement is standard. A soprano recorder is smaller, so the fingers would be placed closer together. However, the soprano plays in a different key than the alto. You would have to learn that fingering.

I bought the concert sized and I am very happy with it. I am not familiar with the tenor.

I think you will be okay depending on if this is your first recorder but it will take stretching some. Though my hand is slightly wider and it made me stretch initially . The instrument has the "thumb rest" you can put on where it can help you most . My advice would be to see what the return policy is for this recorder is so if it is not a good fit you can return it .

You want a smaller size, rather than a larger size so they don't slip. I bought s size 2, and my hands are slender and delicate, and I imagine fairly average size. I wasn't sure either, so I contacted Yoga Paws directly, and they were wonderful.

Yes. I have very large hands and short fat fingers, and this is one of the easiest and comfortable guitars to play, that I have ever owned, and I've owned quite a few. I highly recommend this one. A lot of guitar for the money.

I have small hands and find the small to small. If you put them off and on a lot , I get the medium , they fit better .

Nope, not at all. I have about average hands, wear a Large glove, and it's a good fit if you hold it regular or even upside down.

It depends on the type of ukulele you have. 'Soprano' and 'Tenor' are different types of ukuleles, depending on the size of the body and the size of the fret board. If you don't know which type you have, a tenor is approximately 26" and has more than 15 frets while a soprano is smaller and has a bout 10-15 frets and is approx 21" long. You can get away with buying tenor strings as they are longer and if they are too long i.e. you have a soprano you can just snip them shorter. hope this helps.

Yes. I have a soprano ukulele and it fits well. It had a little extra wiggle room so I think it can hold up to a tenor.
