Soprano -Soprano is the smallest of the four ukulele body sizes and is the traditional ukulele size. The Honu Soprano is perfect for kids learning ukulele or for adults who prefer the brighter tone of a traditional ukulele.
Concert -Concert ukuleles are currently the most popular ukulele body size worldwide. Bigger than a soprano but smaller than a tenor, a concert uke is the perfect middle ground for most players. This size is suitable for all ages, though small children may be better suited to a soprano.
Tenor -Tenor ukuleles are exploding in popularity thanks to the full, deep sound produced by their larger body size. Bigger than the concert, the tenor is great for teenagers and adults that are looking for the most volume from their ukulele and extra space for their fingers on the fretboard.
Baritone -As the name suggests, a baritone ukulele is the largest and deepest sounding of all of the ukulele sizes. Usually tuned like the highest four strings of a guitar (DGBE), rather than the GCEA tuning found on most ukes, a baritone is great if you have a background in guitar because you won't have to learn any new chord shapes. They are also very fun if you are a ukulele player looking to experiment with a different tone.

Acacia has long been one of the most popular tonewoods used on higher end ukuleles and it's easy to see why. Visually striking and tonally rich, each piece of acacia has its own characteristics, making each instrument built with it unique. For our Kohala Deluxe series, we have paired the all acacia body with abalone style purfling and rosette and flame maple binding. As with all Honolua Ukuleles, it includes premium features designed to produce the best tone possible at an affordable price, including solid acacia top for greater volume and better tone, bone nut and saddle for better clarity and sustain, open back machine heads for tuning precision and eco-friendly wood selections.
Kohala Series
The Kohala has all of the aesthetic upgrades of the Mano, including solid top, maple binding, gold tuners, and dual strap pins, but it’s built with acacia wood instead of mahogany. Acacia is revered for its beautiful, full tone and we’ve added abalone-style trim around the body.

Currently the most popular body size, the concert ukulele is slightly longer, and the body is slightly bigger than the soprano, at 24". This provides a bit more space for fingers on the fingerboard. It will sound quite similar, tonally, to the soprano, but the slightly larger body will produce a little more volume and depth thanks to the larger resonating chamber. We suggest the concert model for anyone seeking the traditional ukulele tone, but who may be a little more comfortable with a bigger body.

Honolua Ukuleles is a proud partner of One Tree Planted. For every ukulele sold, a new tree is planted.
Beautifully designed and sounds great. I found myself tuning (break in) the uke frequently in the beginning which is normal. Consider getting the stand (worth it), and chromatic tuner (if you don’t have one yet). Also loved how the free uke pick was beautifully crafted. Thank you!
Singing to my garden! Love living in Canada!
This ukulele is beautiful. Sounds fantastic. Can’t wait for the campfire ban to be lifted!
Ordered this for my husband. He is left-handed. The adjustments were perfect. He loves it. In fact, when I decide to replace my own ukulele (soprano) for a new one (concert), I will be returning!
I purchased the Kohala deluxe Concert Ukulele for myself and the Honu Soprano Ukulele for my daughter. We're hoping to learn together.
These Ukuleles are truly a thing of beauty. Once we pick them up it's hard to put them down. We're having so much fun!
From the get go Dave and the team at Honolua Ukuleles have been super helpful. Delivery was prompt. Ukes we're even better than I expected.
Thanks so much Honolua Ukuleles for all the support! when we get a little better perhaps I'll post a video
Play on!
Very nice sounding instrument. fits in nice with its big brothers.
