Most of the musicians playing ukulele in a group are using a Tenor sized ukulele. Fenders are popular for this.
The soprano ukulele is the smallest and most popular type of ukulele. It has a bright, cheerful sound that is perfect for playing a variety of genres, from Hawaiian folk to pop to jazz.

An ukulele is a small four-stringed instrument, similar to a guitar. The ukulele is popular in Hawaii. The word 'ukulele' itself is Hawaiian. It translates to 'jumping flea'. If you have an opportunity to watch a band play in Hawaii, watch for the mini-guitar that is the ukulele! Whenever you see someone dancing the Hula, there will be a ukulele playing the music they are swaying to. You can also see the ukulele in some modern music, such as Train's rendition of "Hey, Soul Sister" or "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz. The ukulele is considerably easier to play than the guitar, because it has only four strings. Also, the ukulele has softer strings that did not cut into the fingertips, the way guitar strings do. Having these different strings gives the ukulele a completely different sound than the guitar. While the guitar has a metallic sound, the ukulele sounds warmer and is more suitable for the island music it plays. If you read guitar music, you will have no problem reading the music for a ukulele. It looks just like the music for a guitar, except it is written with the four dots instead of the six! Chords are instantly recognizable. I recommend learning the ukulele if you are looking for an easy way to play and learn the guitar. The uke is interchangeable with the guitar, but is far easier than the guitar! The instrument is cheaper to buy, too.
