Best Answer

Tenor and Soprano ukuleles are normally tuned the same way, though they don't have to be. Start with either one, neither is harder than the other to learn to play. Usually it is the done starting with the size that one likes the best. The tenor has a slightly longer fret scale, which makes it a bit easier for someone with big fingers or that is used to the larger guitar.

It really doesn't matter! The fingering is the same on both, it is just a matter of adjusting to the fret locations and usually a song or two is enough to acclimate you to any difference in size.

The difference is in the size of the fret board. Larger fingers will fit a tenor better, smaller fingers on a soprano. But I've seen very large men play the sopranino without a problem!
