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.
Perfect for anyone wanting to dip their toe into the ukulele water, our Honu series was designed to provide as much instrument as we could at an entry level price. The all sapele construction provides a warm tone, similar to that of mahogany, but the Honu is more durable and less susceptible to humidity and temperature changes than our solid top models, the Mano and Kohala. 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 bone nut and saddle for better clarity and sustain, quality open gear tuners and eco-friendly wood selections.
The Honolua Starter Course comes with it, free. Most first ukuleles end up in a closet because nothing came with them; this one comes with the path forward, and has you playing popular songs on it within days of opening the case. It starts with an Owner's Course written for someone who has never played, then the 3-Day Fast Track takes you to sixteen play-along songs. Self-paced, and it's yours for good.
Honu Series
Our Honu Series is perfect for the beginner ukulele player. The all-laminate sapele construction provides a full, bright tone and the laminate construction means it is durable and less susceptible to humidity changes. Aesthetically, it’s fairly simple, but it never compromises on sound quality.

The soprano ukulele is the traditional body size for a ukulele. At 21" long, it is the smallest body of the bunch and provides a bright, punchy tone. Once the most popular option, the soprano is now the most popular choice for kids, or for grown-ups who want the most portable instrument.

I went to uke night with a friend and had such a great time I purchased my first ukulele.
I love it so much I cut my long nails so I can play better!
It has a great sound and I'm so happy with my purchase.
This little electric soprano ukulele is just what I needed, and a rare find. It is a solid build with great tone and solid electronics. Aside from personal use it will be great to teach my grandchildren how to play!! I highly recommend this ukulele to young and old.
I took some lessons with a borrowed ukulele, and I decided to continue learning with a ukulele. This one is great to learn on. It feels much higher quality than the one I was using before.
Absolutely loving my new ukulele! It’s beautifully crafted, sounds great, and love that it’s a Canadian owned company 🇨🇦 Can’t wait to learn lots of new songs 🎼
Nieces first starter. She seems very happy, as was i with the entire purchase.
Purchased for my nephew for christmas. Fast answers to pre sale questions. Fast shipping. Nice product at price point. Happy with purchase
My Christmas present is awesome. Beginner’s fingers though. The journey has only begun.
This concert ukulele is exactly what I wanted. Thank you for satisfying my needs.
I bought the Concert Ukulele and it has a very nice build.
This Ukelele is the first instrument I picked and am excited to play. I’ve always wanted to play the guitar and 18 years ago, my husband gifted me one. I was always too busy to pick it up. When I did, it felt daunting. Then recently, I was inspired by my soon to be daughter in-law . I didn’t realize how nice the ukulele sounded. I’ve always equated the ukulele with a children’s plastic toy. I had no idea…
Dave was super helpful answering my questions which helped me decide to purchase from him rather than buy from a larger store here in Edmonton. I received my ukulele in the mail less than two weeks ago and haven’t stopped practicing since. I love the look, the sound, and that it is designed by an Albertan. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another one from them in the future….perhaps a baritone?!
The Ukulele’s we ordered are beautiful! Our children love them and haven’t stopped playing them. I highly recommend purchasing one of the add-on accessory packs! The stands are high quality and a must have. And the free ebook is such an invaluable resource that has helped us to tune the ukuleles and learn how to use them.
The website is super helpful for helping you to pick a ukulele as a beginner or someone with specific needs. The ukulele arrived promptly and looked exactly as advertised. It sounds and play’s beautifully and this specific Ukulele is perfect for travelling - as you can take it as carry on. :)
Got it for my daughter who was learning in a previous school but her new school doesn’t offer as an option. She missed playing so I decided Christmas was the perfect time to surprise her. She absolutely loves it, has already named it and spent hours with it when she pulled it out of the box. Arrived so quickly! Would recommend for sure!
We purchased the Soprano Electric Ukulele for our granddaughter’s 11th Birthday.
She is thrilled it has electric capabilities and fancier than her older sister’s…of course. It is a lovely sounding instrument and she loves it.
This is my first ever ukulele. I actually got my wife one for Christmas, but after a few days, I found myself constantly playing it. I used to play the guitar over 20 years ago, but haven't played since. The ukulele is so much easier to play and handle.
The quality of the body and neck seems really good for a starter ukulele. The sound is nice and bright.
I am in love.
I’m thrilled with my ukulele! It makes me happy to have gotten it from a small company that plants a tree for each instrument sold. Ordering was simple & the ukulele arrived quickly. The carry case is great, with a zippered pouch on the outside & carry strap. I got a stand, because I knew I’d be more apt to grab the UKE & play it if it’s accessible & am finding that to be true. My only suggestion would be to package the instruments more sturdily. The box was flimsy, wet and coming apart, but luckily my ukulele was just fine.
When I first recived the ukulele I was a little dubious 🤨 it looked great, but when I was playing it, it just didn’t sound right. But it turns out that it was just because I was tuning it wrong the whole time. But anyhow I truly love this ukulele!☺️
I am really pleased with my new Honolua tenor. Bought it as an entry level instrument because I travel on the bus. I wanted something inexpensive that I wouldn’t have to worry about. But I love the look and the sound.
I bought the Soprano model and received it in less than a week. Ideal for a beginner. My 5 year old son loves it. It is solid, of very good quality and the sound is perfect. It comes with an handbook with songs!
I bought a Honu Tenor Low G and it sound amazing. This is the sound that I was looking for. The finition of the instrument is perfect. I got some questions and they answer very fast. The shipping was fast too. I have really nothing to complain. If I buy another uke, definitly it will be with Honolua.
As an absolute music player, I wasn't sure if I was going to continue the journey, so I bought a fairly inexpensive uke on Amazon. Had it for about 3 wks. before I got frustrated with it and contacted Dave and chose the Honu in a tenor size. Very happy with it. Nice tone with my preferred low G tuning. Very nice fit and finish with nice fret wire end smoothing (by Dave himself) and comfortable string action.
Note that there is no strap pin on the neck heel (I much prefer to attach a strap to the headstock anyways to support the neck in the right position).
Highly recommended starter ukulele!
I have been playing for four months on an inexpensive soprano ukelele and wanted to upgrade. I am glad that I followed a friend's recommendation and bought a Honolua! I am so happy with my new Tenor Acoustic Electric. It sounds great and I have been inspired to play and practice more!
