Soprano Ukuleles

The original and the best: the soprano ukulele is the classic ukulele model. With the classic sounds of yesteryear, this is what most people think of when they think of ukuleles. Although concert and tenor ukuleles have richer tones, soprano ukuleles have a familiar percussive sound.

The soprano ukulele is the smallest size in the ukulele family measuring at a diminutive 21 inches from base of the body to the tip of the headstock. The short scale length - ie the length of the string - makes it ideal for children and those with small hands because the frets are bunched together tightly. This means you don’t have to stretch very much to form chord shapes. This small body size also makes it ideal to travel with. Whether you only play ukulele or are a guitarist who can’t live without an instrument, you can take a soprano ukulele with you wherever you go.

The Mahalo MR1 range is a fun, affordable range of soprano ukuleles for children and beginners. Options for intermediate players looking for a more serious instrument include Alvarez, Brunswick and Fender.
