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.
Revered for its warm, mellow tones, mahogany has long been a staple in the construction of musical instruments. Our Mano series embraces the popular combination of mahogany top with mahogany body for a classic look and rich sound. 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 mahogany top for greater volume and better tone, bone nut and saddle for better clarity and sustain, quality open gear tuners and eco-friendly wood selection.
Within days of opening the case you can be playing popular songs on this one, because the free Honolua Starter Course comes with it. It was written for someone who has never picked up an instrument: no theory, no notation, chords from the first session and popular songs from the second, sixteen of them by the end of the third. Self-paced, lifetime access.
Mano Series
The Mano Series is our first solid top model. All mahogany production with a solid mahogany top provides a warmer tone and extra volume than the Honu. To elevate its aesthetic appeal, the Mano also adds maple binding and rosette, gold tuners and hardware, and dual strap pins.

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.
