Ukulele Sizes

Ukuleles Sizes When you mention ukuleles, most people think of the small standard soprano size. That's understandable since the Tin Pan Alley scene popularized the size during the first ukulele wave during the 1920s and 1930s. Soon though, the larger sizes came on the scene when Arthur Godfrey, an American TV personality, preferred the larger size of a baritone.  Surprisingly, ukuleles come in a variety of sizes, each with its own unique characteristics and sound.

The Big Ukulele Setup - What's It All About

Image
UKE Republic's PRO UKULELE SETUP IS ALWAYS INCLUDED The ukulele brands that we carry will apply their quality control standard during the building process. Allowances are made for adjustment and improvement beyond that initial quality control and final factory setup. It's always possible that the factory could overlook issues in their last inspections. Also, instruments endure environmental changes while being imported and stored from great distances, significantly affecting the instruments' playability.   ​By keeping our pulse on the ukulele community and our years of experience setting up different brands of ukuleles, we have honed our standards to meet our customer's preferences and stay within the instrument's full playing potential. Our experienced setup technicians thoroughly inspect each ukulele to address areas that call for attention and make any needed adjustments. Our wish for our customers is to have joyful playing experiences.   We setup every instrume
