Good points and advice. Best thing about ukulele vs other instruments is that a quality instrument doesn’t have to set you back a ton of money. And once you’ve been playing a bit, you kinda get a better idea of what you want out of your instrument...(I like sopranos and tenors for different reasons and they are different enough tonally to justify both). And as y’all mentioned, best advice that can be given to any new player is to buy from a reputable dealer who will ensure the instrument is set up....especially for new player.

my sister got a guitar, and i play the viola. i checked out the guitar, and played it longer than my sister practiced. but i obviously don't want to copy or do the same things as my sister, since i did it already too many times (since she's my rolemodel) so i wanted a ukulele! considering my small size, i think i'll like it. thanks ^^

Thank you Mike and the owner of the channel for giving these valuable advice and tips before buying a ukulele.. I am about to buy one. Actually my elder brother has a guitar. Whenever I try to play some music my finger couldn't reach to appropriate cords that's why I was wondering if there is any instrument which is handy for me and walla! I found out about ukulele. So I don't want to waste my money to buy a fake ukulele that's why I was searching for some tips online and this video help me what I wanted to know. I wrote alot of thing. I hope it didn't bother anyone. Wish you all the best and I hope in a month or twice I'll be able to play amazingly beautiful tune like Mike did. I am Zarif from Bangladesh 🇧🇩. Peace out ✌️

Hello sir I hope you can answer my question. I have a soprano ukulele and im having difficulty singing with it. Does the size of ukelele depends on your voice tone? Like i have a low voice should i get the bigger size? Thanks and Godbless

@RockClass101 3 жыл бұрын

Changing the key of the song would make the biggest difference towards fitting your vocal range, although you may prefer the tone of a larger uke, like a baritone, as it's much deeper than the soprano.

What do you think of a Luna guitars uke bamboo soprano?? Like is the sound good the neck is mahagony and is the neck width good like for the small hands, I am a bit scared to go to the store so I thought of ordering and doing a pick up

@RockClass101 3 жыл бұрын

I'm not a fan of Luna. From my experience, they have a lot of quality control issues. For guitars, I'd recommend Martin or Taylor.

the two ukes you compared (laminate and all solid), were they different sizes? not a very fair comparison!!!

Looked like a soprano vs a tenor or concert

@RockClass101 4 жыл бұрын

Laminate is a Makala MK-S Soprano and the Kanile'a K-1 (Solid) is a concert. Those are 2 ukes I have personally owned. Unfortunately, I never owned a laminate concert, which I agree, would have been a more direct comparison.

not only different sizes but sounded like some effects were added ie. reverb for the $1000 one.

1:23 Yeah, but from the other side of things - wouldn't there be a point where if a ukulele is too small, it just wouldn't be worth-while for a manufacturer to build it to begin with? I am just playing devil's advocate here...
