I am very musically challenged. Why would you buy a tenor over a soprano uke? Is it that one has deeper richer tones?

The Tenor does have deeper tones. The main reason I chose a Tenor, however, was because I am a big person and I figured it would be harder to play a tiny soprano uke.

The tenor has a deeper tone. I like the sound of it better. I also like the size.

I have both. The soprano is easier to chord but I have large fingers so I like the tenor because there's more room between strings and frets. You're right though, the tenor does sound richer.

The tenor instrument is larger, easier to play for some people, and has a richer tone. Also, the cheapest tenors are higher-priced and better made than the cheap sopranos, so they tend to get rated higher. The tuning and chords are the same for soprano, concert & tenor, so you might want to get a nice soprano ukulele after you learn to play the tenor.

Actually I do have both a soprano and tenor uke and there is a clear difference between the two. A soprano has a higher tone than the tenor size does. While on the other side the tenor has a deeper sound and richer sound to my ear. I also prefer a tenor than a soprano because they sound better and have a greater projection of sound. Hopefully I was helpful.

I have only recently "needed" a capo, when I wanted to play and sing a song that was lower in key. I also wanted to practice with the original song played from my computer, and realized I couldn't change the key on my own to play the exact note, but to use the capo. Does this make sense? So unless you encounter in such situations, I don't think you "need" it. I've owned ukulele for 8 years and never needed until I encountered this one song this year.

I have never heard "alto" used to describe this instrument. The next size above the soprano is the concert version. It is one sweet instrument.

Sounds about right...tenor uses are pretty standard in size.....unless it is a thin travel tenor ....like the kala

You should get the OU2T Tenor !! It's great for beginners AND pro's. I've only had to tune it once since I got it and I play it almost everyday. It has that cool island look and sound :)

Hi Francine... in simplest terms, a concert is a small uke (23 in) and a baritone is a big one (30+ in). Also, a concert ukulele has a more traditional, bright and crisp sound. The baritone is tuned differently (DGBE like bottom 4 strings of the guitar). This gives it a deeper, fuller sound. It's super for a bluesy feel but much of the Hawaiian sweetness is lost to it. Ukes come in 4 sizes - Soprano (21"), Concert (23"), Tenor (26") and Baritone (30"). You should try them all out when you go to buy one. Though most folks find the concert ukulele very comfortable. Hope this answers your question. Hi Francine... in simplest terms, a concert is a small uke (23 in) and a baritone is a big one (30+ in).

Does it work with a ukelele? It kinda depends on what you are looking for in a capo and the type of player you are. I use this capo mostly on an acoustic guitar. I do have a concert uke that I use it with and it works fine as far as keeping tune. My cousin uses it on her uke and plays in the church band. However it's a tad large behind the neck making it prone to wrists bumping it. It will also extend far past the width of the neck. Aesthetically not too pleasing. If you are a beginner or casual player spend the few bucks and try it out. I've had several of these things and they do not break. If you are a serious uke player or just want something meant specifically for a uke I would recommend dropping down on a Shubb L-9 or a Kyser capo. They are specifically fit for smaller stringed instruments. But they cost about $20.

Usually, a tenor ukulele is larger than a concert ukulele. I am a little confused by your 'tenor concert ukulele' description. Based on my limited knowledge of the different types of ukuleles, If the tenor is more than 1/4 inch larger than the concert ukulele, it probably won't fit. My concert ukulele fits very snug.

That's hard to say! You can't really go wrong with the "classic" soprano but if you want a little bit more range and a slightly bigger scale for easier chording (for bigger fingers, that is), go with a concert.

a uke from tenor size on up should fit easily. a taropatch (very small) uke would not fit.

Is your ukelele a concert ukelele or a soprano or a tenor? The sopranos are the small ones (21 in), concert is medium (23 in) and tenor are the bigger ones (26 in).these strings are for the concert size. If yours is a different size, just search either soprano or tenor and you will get the right size.

the baritone uke has a deeper bass quality; the concert uke has a tonality between the soprano (high) and the baritone. Kind of like getting the most versatile of tonality.

I believe all newly purchased ukuleles come with strings, but sometimes low end ones that need to be replaced if you want a clearer/cleaner/better sound. Aquila strings are among the best, I think.

This book has the chords for regular ukulele tuning (re-entrant). That would cover Soprano, Concert or Tenor. Baritone chords are NOT included in the book.

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.

I'm pretty sure this is a soprano. I ordered the Kohala baritone and got it. It's much larger than a soprano

I can't say for sure. I will say the uke is fairly priced, looks great and sounds sweet. It's a nice first uke.
