Soprano, Concert, and Tenor scale ukuleles are available in standard ukulele tuning - commonly referred to as reentrant tuning - with the top string tuned higher than the 3rd string (gCEA). This tuning creates the signature bright ukulele sound. For warmer sound with the same tuning option, the top string can be tuned an octave lower (GCEA). The length of the neck and therefore the string lengths are referred to as Soprano (smallest), Concert (medium) and Tenor (long).  Longer necks have more notes available to creative ukulele players.

Baritone ukuleles have a deep rich sound similar to a small body guitar. Tuned DGBE, a baritone ukulele is actually a guitar with the two top strings removed. If you are familiar with guitar chords, you will be familiar with a baritone. Even with a baritone, you can enjoy playing classic ukulele tunes by placing a capo on your 5th fret (works for a guitar too ). For ukulele players wanting the bigger sound but not the alternative tuning, strings are available for either high or low G standard tuning.

Bring the bass! Ukulele players looking for a low end boost can bring it with a uBass. Tuned identically to a standard 4-string bass and available fretted or fretless, any bass player can confidently join your ukulele club and fit right in. Bass strings tend to produce lower audible volume and most uBass models come equipped with an active pick-up system to plug into an amplifier.

When four strings just aren’t enough and a guitar is just a little too big, a guitalele (guitarlele) may be what you need. In it’s ukulele tuning, a guitalele adds a low A and D string and is structured like a guitar with a capo on the fifth fret. For a deeper tone, a baritone scale guitalele tuned EADGBE is very much a mini guitar.
