The Lanikai LU-21 Tenor Ukulele is ideal for anyone wanting to start out with a tenor ukulele. There aren't too many choices for a first time tenor, but this is a great one. The uke is well made, sounds great and is reliable. Obviously, it is more expensive

So why would you want to start with a tenor ukulele? It does give you a fuller sound, more room to play, more range and is better adapted for solo type playing. It's particularly popular with guitar players who are moving onto the ukulele.
