Same chord shapes. A completely different voice.
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.
Six strings on a ukulele sounds like a big change and plays like a small one. The C and A strings are doubled, each with a partner string an octave apart, so every chord you already know comes out with a shimmer on it, a bit like two ukuleles playing at once.
The shapes don't change, so there's nothing to relearn. What changes is the sound, and it's different enough that songs you've played a hundred times feel brand new again.
The top is solid acacia, with grain that runs differently through every board. If your collection already covers the sizes, this is the one that adds something new to it.

The four things doing the work on this one.

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.

The tenor is the biggest of the standard sizes: more room on the fretboard, a fuller voice, and the one a lot of players settle on. 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.
