Soprano ukulele:
concert ukulele:
Soprano ukuleles are typically a little quieter and have more of a “tinkly” that is more treble-heavy. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it’s worth thinking about before you buy a ukulele.
Concert ukuleles tend to be warmer, richer, and more resonant than soprano ukes.
