Ukuleles are classified as lutes and usually have four nylon strings. The ukulele is a small guitar-like instrument. Although ukuleles are typical for Hawaii, they were brought there by Portuguese immigrants from Madeira, where this instrument actually originated. In the early 20th century, ukuleles became very popular throughout the United States and from there spread throughout the world.

Depending on the size, ukuleles are divided into:

Sopranos - these ukuleles have the smallest body and the shortest neck, which is why they also have the highest tone;
Concert - slightly larger body and longer rock than sopranos, has a characteristic of a richer midtone sound;
Tenor - these ukuleles already have a slightly lower tone and a longer neck;
Baritone - have the lowest tone and also a different tuning;
Bass - these ukuleles are quite different in sound from the ones listed above, because they mostly have special soft strings made of silicone rubber, which is why they have characteristics of a soft bass tone.

The sound and volume of the ukulele also vary with size and design. A related instrument is also the guitalele, which is actually a scaled-down classical guitar, slightly larger than a conventional ukulele.

Ukuleles have a smaller body and only 4 strings, which makes them very suitable for beginners, who can progress much faster on this instrument than maybe on acoustic or classical guitar. You don't really need any prior knowledge, but you will still learn a couple of basic chords very quickly so that you can strum and sing and enjoy to the fullest. If you dig a little deeper, you can get much more out of the ukulele. The strings are "nylon" or plastic, so your fingers will not suffer too much. In any case, ukulele is a instrument that also allows very advanced musicians to play virtuoso.

What is the price of a ukulele?

The price depends on various factors such as:

The material from which the ukuleles are made;
Are they only acoustic or are they also electrified;
Quality and time of production;
Quality of tuners;

Ukuleles for beginners are usually made of laminate (laminated wood) or even plastic and are of course cheaper. Higher quality ukuleles are made of solid wood and can also be electrified. In addition, with better models, the quality of production (processing and finishing) is higher and requires more time invested by the manufacturer. Better ukuleles have better quality tuners installed, which hold the tuning better. All of this, in addition to the feeling you have when you pick up the instrument, also affects the sound quality and the final price of the ukulele.

For a beginner ukulele model, you will usually only give 50 EUR or even less. Even the more advanced models mostly don’t have astronomical prices. Due to the relatively low price versus quality, the ukulele is an ideal instrument for a gift, both for a beginner and for a more advanced musician.

Apart from the ukuleles themselves, you will also find a wide selection of strings, bags, suitcases and other ukulele accessories in our offer.

Strings are available for all ukulele sizes: soprano, concert, tenor, baritone and bass.
