Soprano Ukuleles

The Authentic Voice of Hawaii

The soprano is the quintessential ukulele size, measuring 21 in and delivering that iconic, bright 'plink' that defined the Hawaiian music scene. Its compact frame makes it the most portable option in the family, fitting easily into backpacks or carry-on luggage for music on the go.

Because of its light string tension and small fret spacing, it is often the first instrument for students. However, its classic chime remains a favorite for experienced players who want to capture the traditional folk sound that larger bodies cannot replicate.

Compact Frames for Every Player

This collection highlights the diversity of the 21 in scale, ranging from vintage-inspired floral designs to minimalist modern builds for all ages.

• Traditional basswood and mahogany models for a classic acoustic feel
• Ultra-portable 17 in mini travel pocket ukes for maximum mobility
• Educational sets from Loog and Kala featuring dedicated learning apps
• Vintage Series designs with decorative floral patterns and colorful finishes
• Starter bundles equipped with essential gear for students and teenagers
