Tuned like a guitar. Sized like a ukulele.
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.
Baritone is the odd one, and the one people fall hardest for once they've heard it. It's bigger, it's tuned lower, and it comes out deep and woody rather than bright.
The tuning matches the four thinnest strings of a guitar, so if you've ever played one, the shapes are already in your hands and you can start on a song instead of on a chord chart.
If you already play ukulele, this isn't a bigger version of what you have. It's a different voice. It sits underneath a group rather than on top of it, and it puts songs in reach that sound wrong played up high.

The four things doing the work on this one.
We inspect it, play it, and adjust it in Calgary first. If anything’s off, it doesn’t ship.
Give it a quick tune when it lands and it holds.
If your ears disagree, send it back. Anything wrong on arrival, we fix or replace it, on us.
Even if you’ve never picked up an instrument, this takes you from opening the case to songs you know: Let It Be, Country Roads, Don’t Stop Believin’. Three sessions of about an hour, Dave playing along on every song. No theory, and it’s yours for life.
The accessories most players pick up in the first month, matched to your instrument. One click, one discount.
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.
