Suggestions from the tutor:
As regards buying a ukulele, I would advise a Makala or a Kohala as the cheapest. Anything cheaper and it's buyer beware - they can be difficult to tune and don't produce such a nice sound. Kala is also good but a little more expensive. As regards size, a soprano size is fine.
