A diminished Sopranino Ukulele could be called Sopranano:

What amazes me more than him being able to play it, is that it actually functions as an instrument past the 3rd fret.

I helped Bosko's brother to build a 8" scale length uke for his 4 year old daughter a couple months ago. It's bloody amazing how light you need to build to make something that small. As many of you know, the smaller they get, the harder they are to build. And that small, exponentially so.

My hats off to that builder.

By my reckoning at half the size it would take twice as long to build properly.Hats off to the maker.

What a load of codswallop!

Those ukes are normal sized tenor and concert ukes...the guys playing them are just very fat :?
