Ukulele sizes: Which is your favorite?

Hi uke fans! I'm gonna throw this question out there. I've only got a soprano and concert uke, so my experience is limited. But which uke body is your favorite?

- Soprano (standard, the smallest)
- Concert
- Tenor
- Baritone

I have to admit the soprano is a bit little for my fingers (it was given as a gift), I much prefer the concert.

The soprano is fun, but it's just a little too tiny for anything other than strumming. The tenor is great for both strummin' and pickin' and I like to do a lot of pickin' posted 3 years ago. last edited 3 years ago

I can see how they'd be useful and great for folks who need more fretspace, but I'm gonna stick with the standard for now. posted 3 years ago.
