Best Ukulele for Beginners

What is the best ukulele for a beginner?

Selecting the best ukulele begins with determining the right size for you. Ukuleles typically come in four sizes. Soprano and Concert Ukuleles measure 21 to 23 inches in length respectively, making them a perfect choice for young beginners with small hands. Tenor and Baritone ukuleles are the larger with the Baritone being the largest at 30 inches. Kala, Lanikai, Mahalo and Cordoba are all making great ukuleles, and we encourage you to play with different brands and sizes to see what works for you.
