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

A deeper sound, and a tuning guitar players already know.

Baritone is the odd one, and the one people fall hardest for once they've heard it. Bigger, tuned lower, deep and woody rather than bright. It suits slow songs and a low singing voice.

The tuning matches the four thinnest strings of a guitar, so if you've played one, the shapes are already in your hands.

A baritone is also the one that most rewards being plugged in. The low end is where a small speaker or a tired PA gives up first, and the pickup and built-in tuner here mean you turn up, plug in and play. Unplugged it's the same instrument.

  • 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.
  • Ready the day it lands.Somebody who plays opened it, tuned it and played it in Calgary, so you pick it up and start.

Honu

Where nearly everyone starts.

The four things doing the work on this one.

Arched back

A curved back instead of a flat one. On the baritone's larger body, it adds resonance and projection to an already distinctive voice.

Deep and warm

Guitar tuning and a larger body give the baritone low-end warmth with real presence. Guitar players will recognize the voice. Uke players will hear something new.

Comfortable from day one

A wider 38mm nut gives your fingers room. Checked and adjusted in Calgary to play easily right out of the box.

Built for real life

Laminate construction means no humidity anxiety. It handles Canadian winters, air travel, and a spot on the couch without fussing.

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 baritone is the biggest and deepest of the four, tuned like the four thinnest strings of a guitar, so guitar players can pick it up and go. 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.
