Thinking of investing in a ukulele? Generally, spending more on a ukulele will get you better wood and more attention to detail in how it’s built. Higher-end ukes generally sound fuller, feel nicer to the touch, and can last for years. If you’ve been playing for a while or have plans to perform, it might be worth investing in a quality instrument.
But as a beginner, do not worry too much! There are many reasonably priced ukuleles that still sound nice and are a pleasure to play. They’re good for learning your first chords, for strumming through a few songs, for reminding yourself that playing the guitar is fun. Many even are available in bright colors or more beginner-friendly sizes.
