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.

A real bass voice, in a ukulele-sized body.

This is a Kohola Deluxe through and through: a solid acacia top, with the same build and finish as the rest of the series, made into a ukulele bass. It's tuned like a bass guitar and it sounds like one, real low end from something you can carry in one hand, and the solid top is a big part of why that low end comes out warm and round rather than boxy.

It's built to be heard through an amp, so it gets the Fishman Kula, an upgrade over the standard pickup and about as well regarded as ukulele pickups get. It carries the low notes cleanly, and there's a tuner built in.

If you already play bass, it's the one that comes on holiday. If you play ukulele, it's a whole new role in the group, holding down the bottom while everyone else strums. The tuning is new, but you're playing one note at a time, so it comes quicker than you'd think.

  • 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.

Still not sure?

What people ask before they order.

It can be, but go in with open eyes. This one is a bass, tuned exactly like a bass guitar, so the free Starter Course doesn’t fit it. If you already play bass or guitar, you’ll find your way around it quickly. If you’re starting from zero with no guitar background, email me before you order and I’ll tell you honestly whether this is the right first instrument.

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 Meet Your Match quiz asks a few questions and lands on a size and model, with 10% off your first order. The buyer’s guide explains the choice if you’d rather read first. 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 ukulele bass and the guitalele are tuned differently, so the free Starter Course won’t fit them. Email Dave and he’ll point you at what will.
