Different ukulele sizes lined up

Ukulele demand splits by scene: gifting prefers soprano, education leans concert, performers like tenor or baritone.

Soprano (21 inch) is bright and portable, best for entry gifts. Concert (23 inch) adds volume and tuning stability—good for classrooms.

Tenor (26 inch) offers fuller mids and space for fingerstyle. Baritone (30 inch) shifts to DGBE tuning, closer to guitar and great for crossover players.

Channel-specific picks

For online retail bundles, mix soprano and concert. For music schools, prioritize concert and tenor with consistent action height.

  • Keep action 2.5 mm at 12F on concert models
  • Add strap buttons for tenor SKUs
  • Bundle gig bags plus clip tuners to lift AOV
  • Use bright strings for retail-friendly tone

Size is a marketing lever—align it with your audience, not trends.

We can label scale length and target scene on packaging to simplify shelf decisions for your customers.
