Soprano Ukuleles

The soprano ukulele is the smallest and most traditional member of the ukulele family, delivering that famous bright and cheerful sound we all know and love. With its compact size and lightweight build, it’s the perfect choice for beginners, travellers, and anyone who just wants an instrument that’s easy to pick up and play. But despite its small stature, the soprano uke packs a mean punch with a crisp, articulate tone that cuts through beautifully.
Traditionally, soprano ukuleles have a scale length of around 13 inches and a total length of about 21 inches. Those dimensions make the soprano uke incredibly comfortable to hold and play, especially for those with smaller hands. The tight fret spacing gives them a slightly more delicate feel than larger ukulele sizes, but it’s also what gives them their signature chime-like tone. From strumming simple chords to picking out melodies, the soprano uke adds a classic, playful personality to any performance.
Another defining characteristic of soprano ukuleles is their tuning - typically G-C-E-A, with a high G string for that distinctive jangle. This traditional tuning, combined with the uke’s smaller body, results in a bright, percussive sound with a quick attack and short sustain. It’s the go-to size for capturing that authentic Hawaiian ukulele sound.
