The 3rd Avenue Pastel Soprano Ukulele is a beginner ukulele in soft pastel blue, green or yellow, supplied with a carry bag. Soft nylon strings and geared tuners that hold their tuning make it a lovely, practical first instrument for children, school groups and beginners of any age.

Who is this ukulele for?

Young beginners and gift buyers who want something gentler than the standard bold colours — the pastel finishes are this model's whole charm, and underneath it is the same dependable starter ukulele used in schools across the range: compact soprano size, nylon strings that are easy on fingers and geared tuning that stays put between practices. Prefer brighter colours? The standard 3rd Avenue soprano ukulele comes in seven, including rainbow. New to the instrument? Read The best soprano ukuleles for beginners.

Is this a real instrument or a toy?

A real instrument — the pastel colours are cosmetic, but the geared tuners, nylon strings and build are the same as the 3rd Avenue ukuleles schools buy in class sets. It tunes accurately and plays properly, which is what separates a first instrument from a toy.

How is a ukulele tuned?

Standard ukulele tuning is G–C–E–A, and the geared tuners make small, precise adjustments easy. Our step-by-step guide How to tune a ukulele shows exactly how.

What age suits a soprano ukulele?

From around 4–5 upwards — the soprano is the smallest common size, light enough for little arms, and it remains the standard size for school ukulele lessons right through primary years. Adults enjoy it too.

Why do new strings go out of tune quickly?

New nylon strings stretch for the first week or two — completely normal on every ukulele. Retune each time you play and they settle and hold their pitch.
