Ukuleles commonly come in four sizes: soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone. The soprano, often called "standard" in Hawaii, is the smallest, and the original size ukulele. The concert size was developed in the 1920s as an enhanced soprano, slightly larger and louder with a deeper tone. Shortly thereafter, the tenor was created, having more volume and deeper bass tone. The largest size is the baritone, created in the 1940s.
The sweet-toned, nylon-stringed ukulele originated in the 19th century Hawaii, and gained great popularity in the U.S. during the early 20th century - remember Arthur Godfrey? No? never mind. Ibanez offers five different soprano and concert-size ukuleles which bring the rich, textured sounds of Hawaii to your fingertips.
The Ibanez UKS10 soprano uke features a low gloss Sapele body, mahogany neck, and the headstock is fitted with open gear chrome plated tuners. A Rosewood bridge and fretboard complete the package. Includes gig bag.
