  • @mewmewmew9436

    Hey, I just wanted to pop up here real quick. When I was first buying a ukulele, I knew absolutely nothing about ukuleles. I bought a Stagg US-RED ukulele and I wanted to recommend it for all the confused people out there. I have seen plenty of cheap ukuleles in my life, but this one is the bet one yet. It's really cheap, you can get it for as little as 35 euro in lots of places. It is well-made, definitely does not look like it would break when playing a little harder. It looks clean, sounds amazing, it has pretty soft strings, so it's perfect for people that have never played a string instrument before. It's tiny and handy. I have it for 2 years now, no defects, looks almost like new. This is my full honest opinion, and it is not biased or influenced in any way. I highly recommend this ukulele and i hope I helped :)

    Obviously, the teardrop-ish one caught the most attention. If I were in the market for a wooden stringed instrument, I'd pick one of those up, and I've been eyeing a no-name brand long rectangular-ish one, too. I do wonder how things would have gone for the ukulele in popular perception had makers really tried to differentiate their pieces from guitars instead of going for the toy-guitar look.
    Addendum. That ST-Concert, as it's called, is hard to criticize from my ivory tower. Bigger neck for easier playing while keeping the form factor of a soprano with the deep sound of a more spacious body, and it looks sharp to boot. More things ought to be engineered like that; any dime-a-dozen corporate copy-paste job is a waste in my eyes. Come on, it doesn't matter how much you paid for one "traditional" ukulele if no one bats an eye as you busk in the street.

Two persons wish to play the same song together, one is a guitarist, the other is on a tenor ukelele. Each musician will play the cord of C major on their instrument. Will they both be in tune using standard tuning for guitar (EADGBe) and standard Tenor uke tuning? If the answer is no, how should they tune to perform in the same key together? Thanks

    I know very little, but I disagree with most of these.
    Basically the suggestions are too expensive for a beginner who might get bored in a week.
    If you want a decent cheap Ukulele, then go to Amazon/fleabay and get something like a Kmise branded concert uke in mahogany or saple. it will cost you about 50 gbp probably have all the kit with it; bag tuner strap etc, and be more than good enough for your first year of practice.
    Don't buy a cheap plastic one.
    Don't get a soprano unless you have small hands, because you will not enjoy it as much as a concert size.
    If a total beginner, don't get a baritone, because it's really a 4 string guitar and you'll be the odd one out at ukulele band camp.
    With hindsight, I should probably have got a tenor rather than a concert, just because I'm used to playing guitar and sometimes size does matter. However the concert size I have is extremely good build quality with good inotation, a lovely deep sound, and only cost £50.
