Of all the sizes of ukulele, ukulele concert is often the most neglected. The conditions for the other sizes of ukulele are familiar with other people: soprano, tenor and baritone. But the concert is something different.
To play the two most common sizes of ukulele for tenor and soprano people. Each of these provides the players with their advantages and disadvantages. But the concert offers players the right balance between these two.
Concert Ukulele: Definition
Like allClassification is the 'concert ukulele ukulele for its scale (ie the string length playable) is defined. It has a scale length of about six inches. This puts it in the middle of the ukulele (with a scale length of thirteen inches) and content (with a scale length of seventeen inches).
What is good for the concert size uke?
Bring the concert ukulele for what many people love for the soprano and the tenor of everything in one package. You will receive aextra bit of room for your fingers to maneuver; allowing you to play more complex single note parts (as with the tenor). And you also get the traditional ukulele sound of the soprano and it is as natural as the soprano when it comes to chord playing.
The adaptability is the major appeal of the concert ukulele for me. It allows me to switch between fingerstyle and strummed sections of a particular piece without losing anything in the move in terms of sound and playability.
If you have tried playing a soprano ukulele but found you need a little more space - as many people do - then the concert ukulele should be your next stop.
What are the Disadvantages of the Concert Ukulele?
There are some downsides to the concert ukulele. They tend not to be as available as tenors and certainly not sopranos. This means you are likely to have less choice when you buy than you might with the other sizes.
Another is the price. In the beginner price bracket, you won't find too many concert ukuleles.
Should I Get a Concert Ukulele?
Concert ukuleles are great for intermediate players who want to stretch out their ukulele playing and take on new challenges. Moving their playing into new areas and taking on lead parts but still retaining the traditional sound of the ukulele.
