Size chart
Sizing Information

The four ukulele sizes held by a child, a teenager and an adult: soprano 21 inches, concert 24 inches, tenor 26 inches, baritone 30 inches

Soprano - Soprano is the smallest of the four ukulele sizes, and the traditional one. It's the pick for kids learning ukulele, and for adults who like the brighter tone of a traditional ukulele.

Concert - Bigger than a soprano and smaller than a tenor, the concert is the size most people are happiest on: roomy enough for adult hands, small enough to feel friendly. Small children may be better suited to a soprano.

Tenor - The tenor is the biggest of the standard sizes, and its larger body gives a fuller, deeper sound. It suits teenagers and adults who want the most volume and extra room for their fingers on the fretboard.

Baritone - The baritone is the largest and deepest-sounding ukulele. It's tuned like the four thinnest strings of a guitar, so if you've played guitar you won't have to learn any new chord shapes. It's also a lot of fun for a ukulele player looking for a different tone.

Sound check

This is what you’ll hear when you pick it up.

2026 model — played by Mustafa Kamaliddin

2025 model demo

The one people notice before you play a note.

Quick heads up on the photos — they're of the 2025 build. This one's on preorder, so what turns up at your door is the 2026 version. Photos get updated the moment the new stock hits the bench in Calgary.

Concert is the easiest ukulele size to live with: comfortable to hold, easy to get your hand around, and big enough to have a proper voice without being so big you leave it at home.

On a Kohola that voice comes from a solid acacia top. It's bright and clear, and the grain runs differently through every board, with swirls, streaks and figuring that change as you turn it in the light. The one that arrives is the only one that looks like it.

The acoustic-electric adds a pickup and a tuner built into the side. Unplugged it's the same instrument; plugged in, it's ready for a group night or a small stage.

  • You’ll hear the difference.The first strum is louder and richer than the one you came from.
  • Easy under the fingers.It stops fighting you. Smooth fret ends, comfortable action, and it holds tune, so you play instead of tuning.
  • It keeps getting better.A solid top opens up with playing time, so it sounds better in five years than the day you unboxed it.

Kohola Deluxe

The one most people choose once they’ve shopped around.

The four things doing the work on this one.

Arched back

Paired with a solid acacia top, the arched back gives the Kohola projection and a voice that carries across a room.

Opens up over time

The solid acacia top responds more the longer you play it. Six months from now, this instrument will sound richer than the day it arrived.

One of a kind

Every piece of acacia has its own grain pattern, colour variation, and figuring. The instrument you receive will look like no other Kohola ever made.

The appointments

Abalone-style rosette and purfling, maple binding, gold open gear tuners, dual strap pins. The kind of details you notice every time you pick it up.

Still not sure?

What people ask before they order.

Yes. The Starter Course that comes with it assumes nothing: not one lesson, not one chord. It starts with how to hold the instrument and has you playing popular songs within days, one short step at a time. Most of our players started past fifty.

The demo videos at the top of this page are this exact model. Most models have several, and you’re listening to the ukulele, not taking our word for it.

Yes. Every one comes through Calgary to be inspected, played, and adjusted before it ships. Give it a quick tune when it lands, like any stringed instrument, and it holds.

You get 30 days with it in your hands. If your ears disagree, send it back. And if anything is wrong when it arrives, we fix or replace it and cover the cost.

All ukuleles ship free anywhere within Canada or to the U.S., with no customs duty or tariffs, and nothing due on delivery.

The concert is the size most people are happiest on: roomy enough for adult hands, small enough to feel friendly. If you’re torn, the Meet Your Match quiz asks a few questions and lands on a size and model, with 10% off your first order. And Dave answers his own email, usually the same day.

Designed in Calgary, built to our spec by our partner factory overseas, and every one comes back through Calgary before it ships to you.

The Honolua Starter Course, and it’s yours for life. It opens with an Owner’s Course (sizes, strings, tuning, restringing and care), then the 3-Day Fast Track: three sessions of about an hour, and sixteen popular songs with Dave playing along on every one. Already play? That’s sixteen new songs for the next group night.
