The Perfect First Ukulele So, you want to play the uke? Here’s the perfect one to cut your teeth on! The Aloha SK 601S is…
The Aloha SK 601S is a real value, especially in light of how well it’s built. Its Sapele body produces a resonance that belies this uke’s modest size, while its Sapele top enhances its clarity and note articulation. Geared die-cast tuners ensure reliable intonation. You’ll experience superior sustain and vibrational transfer, thanks to a high-quality GraphTech NuBone nut and saddle. Add to that an eye-catching Golden Burned Satin finish, and you’ve got yourself a fine acoustic instrument that you’ll enjoy for years to come. At AJ’s Music & The Music Man, we find that the SK 601S delivers performance that far exceeds expectations.
Ukuleles come in all shapes and sizes. The Aloha SK 601S is a soprano. This size, often called “standard” in Hawaii, was the original size and is the second smallest. It delivers a classic island sound with percussive treble and glittering overtones. Slightly larger and louder than a soprano is the concert size, which came about in the 1920s. Some players find the concert uke’s longer-scale neck more comfortable to play. The tenor was created soon after the concert. It exhibits more projection and deeper bass tones and fits in well with the sound of most acoustic guitars. The baritone was developed in the 1940s and resembles a smaller tenor guitar. Contrabass and bass ukuleles are recent innovations that yield a distinctive low-end punch. No matter what type of vibe you’re going for, there’s a ukulele that’s tailor-made for you.
