Do I need a ukulele to attend the bootcamp ?
Yes, you do 🙂
If you don’t have one, try to borrow one for the week. Seriously, most ukulele players have several #justsaying
You can get a highly playable and great-sounding instrument starting at around $100 CAD.
Top 3 reasons to get the best ukulele you can afford:
- Playing on a cheap Ukulele will mislead you into thinking that you are not talented
- The better the instrument, the more fun you’ll have to play
- Quality instruments have a better resale value
The following brands are cool: Kala, Ohana, Fender, Enya, Flight, Lanikai, Martin, Luna, Leho, Denver, Beaver Creek
What size of ukulele should I get?
It depends on the size of your hands and the type of sound you want.
- Soprano – the most popular ukulele. About 22 inches long.
- Recommended for adults with smaller and agile hands, and for kids
- Sound: the ukulele sound that people are familiar with – higher-pitched with very little sustain
- Concert – offers a little more room for your fingers. About 25 inches long.
- Recommended for adults with average size hands. It’s large enough to rest on your leg when sitting down.
- Sound: more mid-range than the soprano, resulting in a richer sound with a bit more sustain
- Tenor – the largest “conventional” ukulele. About 26 inches long.
- Recommended for those that have played guitar before or have larger hands
- Sound: the loudest and richest-sounding ukulele. It also offers the most sustain.
