Best Answer

I've begun the search myself and this is what I've learned:

The Uke comes in four sizes, from smallest to largest:

  • Soprano
  • Concert
  • Tenor
  • Baritone

Geared tuning pegs are better than friction pegs.

The quality of strings makes a difference, but a new set can be purchased for less then $10.

Solid wood is better than veneers. But it also costs much more!

There are many different shapes to consider, but most people recommend getting one of the standard figure 8 to start and learn on.
