Looking for an easy way to jump into playing music? Ukuleles are a great way to go! The string tension is lower than an acoustic guitar, making the strings easier to press down. The material of ukulele strings are commonly nylon, which can make playing for longer periods of time easier on the fingers than steel strings. What's more, baritone ukuleles use the same tuning as the highest four strings on a guitar, making it an especially easy instrument to pick up for guitar players as well!
