Concert Ukeleles
There are four common types of ukes out there: soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone. The soprano was the original, followed up quickly with the concert size uke. The 15-inch scale length and slightly larger body size deliver a deeper tone and a bit more volume, while maintaining the sweetness and instantly recognizable ukulele sound.

The Oscar Shmidt OU5 Concert Ukulele
The OU5 concert ukulele features a select Hawaiian Koa top, back and sides, which look striking in the natural gloss finish. The abalone binding and rosette are the icing on the cake, for an instrument that's as beautiful to look at as it is to hear.

The OU5's Nyatoh neck features a 16-fret rosewood fretboard, and Grover chrome tuning machines ensure you stay in tune.

Oscar Schmidt instruments feature a lifetime warranty, and each ukulele is inspected and adjusted in the USA by a skilled technician--your assurance for smooth fret ends, precision low action and resonant sound quality.

About Oscar Schmidt Musical Instruments
The Oscar Schmidt Company was founded in 1871 and incorporated in 1911. By the early 1900s, the company had five factories in Europe and a factory on Ferry Street in Jersey City. They made all kinds of stringed instruments, guitars, banjos, mandolins, ukuleles, zithers, and Autoharps.

The company prospered through the early 1920s. Oscar Schmidt instruments were sold in many rural parts of the country where no music stores existed. Salesmen distributed the products far and wide, making them available in general, small town furniture and dry goods stores. Country guitar pickers and blues musicians living in areas of the South and in Appalachia, far from the city, frequently played Oscar Schmidt instruments because they were both inexpensive and available locally. But equally important, they were often chosen solely on merits of their superior tone and volume.

Today at Oscar Schmidt, premium woods, quality hardware and modest prices create an ideal instrument. Each is inspected and adjusted in the USA by a skilled technician, your assurance for smooth fret ends, precision low action and resonant sound quality. Unequalled standards in easy playing comfort and tone response creates the perfect value... Oscar Schmidt.

How to Tune a Ukulele Tip

Ukulele Tuning Tips: Keep Yourself in Tune

For beginner ukulele players, getting the ukulele in tune can be a chore. However, it is absolutely necessary. It's not something optional that you can just skip. No matter how good you get, if your ukulele is out of tune, you'll sound terrible and people will run from the room screaming.

Why is it Difficult to Tune a Ukulele?

The ukulele tends to be more difficult to tune than larger instruments such as the guitar or bass. The short scale length means that you have to be very careful when tuning or you will overshoot.

It is also more difficult as many ukuleles have friction tuners. Guitars are fitted with geared tuners which tend to keep the tuning better and mean that tuning can be more accurate.

Top Tuning Tip: Buy a Digital Tuner

Digital tuners have made life so much easier for ukulele players. They are now small, cheap and accurate which makes them a vital addition to any ukulele player's gig bag.

There are many different types of tuner. There are chromatic tuners (which allow you to choose any note to tune to) and dedicated ukulele tuners (which will only allow to tune to the notes of the ukulele). There are tuners which work via a microphone and those that work by picking up on vibrations in the ukulele.

Which Ukulele Tuner Should I Buy?

That depends on your style of ukulele playing. Most ukulele players will not stay beyond the standard ukulele tuning (GCEA), so a dedicated ukulele tuner is fine. But if you want to experiment with other tunings (such as slack-key tuning or D-tuning), then a chromatic tuner becomes necessary.

If you are only planning on playing at home for fun, then a microphone tuner is will suit you. But if you are planning to play gigs, a clip on tuner will be much more suitable. A clip on tuner works by sensing the vibrations of the ukulele, so the sounds around you won't affect how the tuner works.

Some well respected makes of ukulele tuner are Kala and Intelli.

Ukulele Buying Tips - What's Suitable For a Beginner

!±8± Ukulele Buying Tips - What's Suitable For a Beginner

For the first time ukulele buyer, the options available can be overwhelming. Ukuleles come in a number of different sizes and tunings and can vary wildly in price. It can be difficult to work out exactly what the beginner ukulele player should look for when buying a ukulele. This article will give you a few tips on what to look out for and how to make your choice.

How Much Does A Beginner Ukulele Cost?

There are some very cheap ukuleles available (less than twenty dollars), these ukuleles aren't really suitable for someone who is serious about learning the ukulele. They're really only toys. If you do buy one of these, it's likely you'll experience problems in tuning the ukulele and intonation. If this happens, you'll probably get discouraged by how you sound and your lack of progress (even though the problem isn't yours).

Spending fifty to one hundred dollars will get you a much more playable ukulele. As well as sounding better, it will feel better to play. Having a nice ukulele will encourage you to play more often.

Which Size Ukulele Should I Buy?

There are four main sizes of ukulele. They are, in ascending order of size, soprano, concert, tenor and baritone. It can be difficult to tell which ukulele is most suitable for a beginner.

In general, I'd recommend that players start on a soprano ukulele. It is the traditional and most common size of ukulele. It is also the most suitable for playing chords (which is where most people begin).

Larger ukuleles, such as the tenor, are becoming increasingly popular for beginners (thanks to their use by professional players such as Jake Shimabukuro). However, they are more suited to advanced solo ukulele playing rather than beginner strumming.

What are the Best Makes of Ukulele?

Some of the most popular brands for beginner ukuleles are Lanikai (used by Zach Condon from Beirut), Oscar Schmidt (used by American Idol's Jason Castro) and Kala.
