Ukulele for sale in uk Most of the cheapest ukuleles that you will find for sale are sopranos (although not all sopranos are cheap by any means). This makes them perfect for beginners who just want to test out whether the ukulele is for them. Ukulele for sale The standard tuning for soprano, concert and tenor ukuleles is C tuning which means the four strings will be associated with the pitch of G C E A. The 4th string is G, 3rd string is C, the 2nd string is E, the 1st string is A. That is when you strike the open string it sounds those notes. The G is tuned to the G above middle C on the piano, an octave higher than you might think. The baritone ukulele is tuned to D G B E with the sound going from low to high. Ukuleles were introduced in the United States in 1915 and since then have become a popular form of musical entertainment. They were predominant in Vaudeville acts as well as in the Jazz Age. They have even found a way to modern music. The size of the soprano has meant that it is the perfect instrument for kids and schools. But the advantages extend to grown ups too. It makes it relatively easy to stretch for notes and to form chords.
