Long Neck, Small Body, Narrow waist

What on earth am I speaking of? Super soprano ukuleles of course!
You may ask what is a super soprano ukulele? Well, basically it is a concert scale married to a soprano body. Some also put tenor necks with soprano bodies as well. Oh and then there is a tenor neck on a concert body but that's for another post.

Okay, so what might be the advantage of the super soprano ukulele? For one, you get to keep the soprano sound but have the room and additional frets of a concert. The feel and balance on many of the brands feel quite nice too. The portability of a soprano is still there. Now anyone who loves the tonal characteristics of the soprano ukulele but felt the fingerboard a little cramped can get on playing one.
If you already play a super soprano or if perhaps it may be your first, you will be happy to know that there are plenty of combinations to choose from!

Ukulele Anatomy & Sizes

Ukuleles Anatomy & Sizes When you mention ukuleles, most people think of the small standard soprano size. That's understandable since the Tin Pan Alley scene popularized this size during the first ukulele wave in the 1920s and 1930s. However, ukuleles come in a variety of sizes, each with its own unique characteristics and sound. The four main ukulele sizes are soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone. Let's explore the anatomy of the ukulele and the different sizes available. Anatomy of a Ukulele  Body: The ukulele's central sound-producing part comprises the soundboard (top), back, and sides. Neck: The long, thin part of the ukulele that connects the headstock to the body. Headstock: The top part where the tuning pegs (tuners) are located. Tuners: Pegs used to adjust the tension of the strings, tuning them to the correct pitch. Nut: A small piece at the top of the fretboard that guides the strings and keeps them evenly spaced. Fretboard (Fingerboard): The surface on ...
