Martin Smith Soprano Ukulele with Ukulele Bag & Chord Book

Product Information

The ukulele can be heard in a number of musical styles, from traditional folk music to modern pop and everything in between. Here at Andertons Music Co, we’re proud to offer one of the best ukulele selections in the UK. Our range includes offerings from Mahalo, Alvarez, Gretsch, Ibanezand many more, with modern ranges like the Fender California Series taking a step up in terms of quality. Whether it's stuffed on a friend's bookshelf or above the bar at a Hawaiian-themed club, if you've seen a uke somewhere, chances are it's a Mahalo. The basic models won't set the world on fire, but we've always found that they are fairly durable, hold their tuning okay, and despite the very low cost, they sound pretty decent. In our tests, we found that the mahogany construction offered a darker tone, which complements its concert voicing, and we have to say, the subtle body binding adds to its charming good looks.

Hopefully, we have successfully informed you about the pink ukuleles. So, take one and carry on with your musical activities. This pink-colored soprano is the most common in the world. It characterizes the shortest scale length and tightest fret spacing ukulele, tuned using the G C E A.All very quaint 'n quirky, but what does this teach us? The Portuguese sailors probably favored the cavaquinho because it was simple to play and easy to stow on a cramped sailing ship. Let's face it, they would have struggled to smuggle a piano on board. King Kalakaua, and his court, found it irresistible because it was fun to play and sounds great. So, if you're looking for an instrument that sounds unique, is easy to travel with, and is impossible to put down then go buy yourself one of the best ukuleles in this guide. Are ukuleles easy to play? We hope that we helped you get more information about these ukuleles on our list, or even better we hope we helped you choose your new ukulele. Price and Quality

It’s a sharp-sounding ukulele too, very crisp and articulate with a tone that will really cut through alongside other instruments. It’s loud enough to compete on it’s own with a vocalist, but handily the onboard electronics let you take things up a notch for bigger shows when amplification is required. As producers, you struggle to get inspired if you're using the same thing. A lot of times, a piece of analogue gear can break you out of that rut" – Shaun Lopez on crafting synth sounds for the long-awaited second album from Crosses

Compared to other ukes generally, this Carbon ukulele contains a more distinct and brilliant sound. Also, it can fascinate with its robust and high-quality build and excellent body structure. Due to its small size, it also has a very short scale length so if you have bigger hands, we’d look for something like a concert or tenor ukulele. For young players, however, this sizing is perfect for getting your first chord shapes down. If the complexities of ukulele tuning fill you with horror (they really shouldn't) then consider a Yamaha Guitalele, which is essentially a uke-sized guitar. Buy some high-tension strings and you can even tune it exactly the same as your guitar, and get the fretboard map to match. Does the wood make a difference to the sound of a ukulele?

So, can you live without a uke in your life? For better or worse, ukulele music has certainly been a feature of our lives for the past 140 years but are you ready to make some? And are we ready to listen to it? Released by Yamaha a decade before the current uke boom, they're only just now becoming more widely available. Tuned to A, and without the re-entrant 'G', it really does sit perfectly halfway between guitar and uke, hence the name.Other properties of this item are fantastic resonance sound, eye-catching and sturdy construction, and so on. If you have the additional cash, then you'll notice a big difference stepping up to the Fender and Kala models on this list, but if not, this is an excellent ukulele if you're just starting out. You will be pretty surprised to hear the sound of such an affordable instrument. It produces a beautiful, brilliant voice, and it won’t seem to be cheap at all.
