A bonsai ukulele, just a mouthful that won’t fill you up. I’ve been a tiny ukulele ambassador since I was first given one in the early 2000’s by Hans Türing, a German uke enthusiast. I went on to feature micro-sized ukes in the Ukulele Orchestra show for many years. My sopranino ukuleles bring together everything I love about ukuleles and tiny things: a loud, punchy ukulele which you can fit in your pocket.
I've often been disappointed by other sopranino ukuleles but this really works as a proper instrument, especially with the Gotoh UPT tuners which ensure excellent tuning. This one has a yew front, sides and back, a sycamore neck and an ebony fingerboard and bridge. The sound really cuts through - very bright and crisp - and makes a terrific addition to any ukulele group.
I like to use Aquila iUke strings tuned to either an octave above a baritone ukulele (dGBE) or, if you like it really high, an octave above a regular ukulele (gCEA) - just make sure you have a spare A string!
It measures roughly 43cm (length), 13cm (widest width) and 5cm (depth). Gotoh UPT tuners.
