My ukulele is a concert size. I was attracted to it because it was nice looking with a high gloss finish and a nicely sculptured headstock - also it has a bit bigger fret board than a soprano sized uke (and some other concerts size ukes I've seen) to cope with larger fingers. The original sound was a bit dull but I replaced the strings with DÁddario strings and it sounds louder and nicer. I play with the Adelaide Ukulele Appreciation Society (http://auas.wordpress.com/) where most others play soprano sized ukes and mine is noticeably louder. I also get a lot of comments on its appearance - all up I'm very happy with it considering the price was around $150.
