| Content | There are few instruments as easy to just pick up and play as the humble ukulele. With a few chords memorized, anybody can start producing those chilled, Hawaiian vibes. Soprano models, notable for their highly compact bodies and fretboards, have become a staple feature of beach parties and informal jam sessions the world over.
This image has done wonders for the ukulele\'s popularity. However, it doesn\'t tell the full story. Hidden beneath the surface is a whole family of instruments with different sizes and sounds to suit many styles of play. The concert ukulele is just one of them.
For the aspiring ukulele player attempting to develop their talents, or the would-be buyer seeking something a little more versatile, these additional models are well worth investigating.
Frets and Lengths
Instruments in the ukulele family can be broken down into four separate classes; soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone. The key differences between them are their full lengths, scale lengths, and amount of frets, with each increasing as you move from soprano to baritone models.
The full length is measured from the top of the headstock to the bottom of the body. Scale length is measured between the nut (where the strings are held in place below the headstock) and the saddle (where the strings attach to the body below the sound hole).
While different brands may vary on the exact specifications, generally speaking, the four classes of ukulele can be identified as follows:PUKA UK-21BK
