Joe Souza from Kanileʻa Ukulele provides an in-depth overview of the different ukulele sizes, their unique tones, and how they cater to various playing styles. Starting with the soprano, the classic ukulele sound reminiscent of its Portuguese origins, he highlights its bright, uplifting tone. The super soprano offers a longer neck for improved playability and sustain. The concert size, evolved from the Hawaiian taro patch fiddle, provides a balanced tone and is ideal for young adults or beginners. The super concert combines the concert body with a tenor-scale neck for a unique hybrid tone.

The tenor ukulele, considered the modern standard, has a larger body and scale for richer tones. The super tenor features a wider lower bout and specialized bracing for enhanced sound. The 19-inch super tenor pushes boundaries with its extended scale length, delivering unparalleled sustain and tone. The baritone, the largest ukulele, offers a warm, rich sound tuned like the first four strings of a guitar (DGBE), making it a unique addition for club performances. Finally, the guitalele (GL6) combines ukulele portability with guitar-like six-string versatility, tuned A to A.

Joe emphasizes the craftsmanship of Kanileʻa ukuleles, such as their UV silk neck finish for comfort and their precise body and scale measurements, ensuring optimal playability and tone. He encourages players to explore the showroom, factory tours, and Kanileʻa’s website to discover their perfect ukulele and experience the joy of playing these finely crafted instruments.
