Sizing Information

Soprano -Soprano is the smallest of the four ukulele body sizes and is the traditional ukulele size.  The Honu Soprano is perfect for kids learning ukulele or for adults who prefer the brighter tone of a traditional ukulele.

Concert -Concert ukuleles are currently the most popular ukulele body size worldwide.  Bigger than a soprano but smaller than a tenor, a concert uke is the perfect middle ground for most players.  This size is suitable for all ages, though small children may be better suited to a soprano.

Tenor -Tenor ukuleles are exploding in popularity thanks to the full, deep sound produced by their larger body size.  Bigger than the concert, the tenor is great for teenagers and adults that are looking for the most volume from their ukulele and extra space for their fingers on the fretboard.

Baritone -As the name suggests, a baritone ukulele is the largest and deepest sounding of all of the ukulele sizes.  Usually tuned like the highest four strings of a guitar (DGBE), rather than the GCEA tuning found on most ukes, a baritone is great if you have a background in guitar because you won't have to learn any new chord shapes.  They are also very fun if you are a ukulele player looking to experiment with a different tone.

Acacia has long been one of the most popular tonewoods used on higher end ukuleles and it's easy to see why.  Visually striking and tonally rich, each piece of acacia has its own characteristics, making each instrument built with it unique.  For our Kohala Deluxe series, we have paired the all acacia body with abalone style purfling and rosette and flame maple binding.  The installed UK-500T pickup system includes a built in tuner with 3-band EQ and is powered by included lightweight CR2032 batteries.  As with all Honolua Ukuleles, it includes premium features designed to produce the best tone possible at an affordable price, including solid acacia top for greater volume and better tone, bone nut and saddle for better clarity and sustain, open back machine heads for tuning precision and eco-friendly wood selections.

Model - Kohala

Kohala Series

The Kohala has all of the aesthetic upgrades of the Mano, including solid top, maple binding, gold tuners, and dual strap pins, but it’s built with acacia wood instead of mahogany. Acacia is revered for its beautiful, full tone and we’ve added abalone-style trim around the body.

For more information on our models and the differences between them, check out our Buyer's Guide section on models here.

Size - Concert

Currently the most popular body size, the concert ukulele is slightly longer, and the body is slightly bigger than the soprano, at 24".  This provides a bit more space for fingers on the fingerboard.  It will sound quite similar, tonally, to the soprano, but the slightly larger body will produce a little more volume and depth thanks to the larger resonating chamber.  We suggest the concert model for anyone seeking the traditional ukulele tone, but who may be a little more comfortable with a bigger body.

    I’m so excited !

    I received my new ukelele before the estimated date. I bought a Kohala Delux Solid Top Acoustic Electric concert ukelele. It is even more beautiful in person. I want to give a big shoutout to Dave (one of the owners) for answering all my questions. Would I recommend this company? Yes I would highly recommend it and the model I chose. It’s so pretty and sounds great. Photos included.

    Love my Honolua Kohala Deluxe Solid Top Tenor Acoustic Electric Ukulele.

    What a great looking and sounding Uke. I like the features like electronic tuner, arched back, fine tuner ratio for precise tuning. A great high end quality Uke for a reasonable price.

    Great fun evening!

    I thoroughly enjoyed my evening. I learned so much in such a short period of time. Dave was great and made sure that everyone was able to follow along. The pace was good and lots of laughs were had. Definitely recommend.
