In Marlborough, first decide how the ukulele will feel in your hands and fit into your practice space. A soprano or concert model may suit a shorter reach, while the wider spacing of a concert or tenor may feel more comfortable for larger hands; size alone does not guarantee fit, so try the actual instrument. If you share a room or have close neighbors, consider how easily you can practice at a comfortable volume. Music and Arts, Sudbury Music Center, and Mr. C's Music are places to see ukuleles and compare how they feel. Once you choose, keep the instrument clean, protect it from temperature changes, and check its tuning regularly.
