Aloha!!
So today I wanted to give you guys some information about the different types of ukuleles as I have been reading through my books for my project. There are four different sizes of ukes. The smallest is the soprano, then concert, then tenor, and lastly the baritone ukulele. There are different sizes because each one makes a different sound from the other. Also, the longer and larger ukes have more frets than the soprano. Most ukes are also designed into a figure 8 shape, like a guitar. Many are also crafted into rounded boxes known as pineapple ukes or other similar shapes. Some even are specially designed to look like images and are painted as well.
For my project, I am going to be building a tenor uke and will probably have the figure 8 shape if I can make it look like an 8 :).
