For a first ukulele in Cullman, try the actual instrument before choosing a size. A soprano or concert model may suit a shorter reach, while wider concert or tenor spacing may feel easier for larger hands; size alone does not guarantee fit. Hold it in playing position and see whether your fingers can reach the chords without strain.
