A tenor ukulele is a type of ukulele that is slightly larger than a soprano ukulele, with a longer neck and a deeper, richer sound. Tenor ukuleles are typically tuned in the key of D, which gives them a lower pitch than soprano ukuleles. They are popular for playing a variety of genres of music, including folk, rock, and jazz.
Tenor ukuleles are a good choice for players who want a ukulele with a bigger sound than a soprano ukulele, but who still want the portability and affordability of a ukulele. They are also a good choice for players who have larger hands, as the longer neck and wider fretboard make them easier to play. Due to their mellow sound, they are particularly well-suited to fingerpicking styles of playing.
