What are the four types of Ukulele, do you know? Soprano Ukulele

The ukulele is a very simple musical instrument. It is known as the simplest playing and singing musical instrument in the world. It is very suitable for the whole family to play.

There are many styles of ukulele, but the structure of the ukulele is basically the same. In addition to the standard styles that are similar to the shape of the guitar, there are also electric box types (which can be connected to speakers), pineapple types (oval piano boxes), and bass ukulele and so on. Generally speaking, the resonance of the pineapple type is better (basically negligible), the tone is more special, and the tone of the guitar type is more traditional, but in fact the difference between the two is not much. The panels of ukuleles produced by some manufacturers are often printed with some cartoon patterns, which are very cute. There are also some ukulele designs that design the sound holes in other shapes, and some also open the sound holes in different positions on the body.

According to international standards, ukulele has the following four specifications in size and tone:

21 inches: full length, 530mm; string length: 350mm (soprano or standard);

23 inches: full length, 600mm; string length: 380mm (concert piano);

26 inches: full length, 670mm; string length: 410mm (tenor);

30 inches: less used, the body is larger, like a guitar (baritone).
