So there are four main sizes in ukuleles. Soprano, concert, tenor and baritone. More recently the sopranissimo is also gaining popularity, this one is even smaller (16 inches, 40 cm) than the soprano sized ukulele. The soprano however is the most traditional size at 20 inches (51 cm). This is the most common one and also the size that most people associate the ukulele with, it also makes that real typical classic ukulele sound.
One stip bigger is the concert ukulele at 23 inches (58 cm). The body is bigger and the neck is longer with more room between the frets, thus making it a little bit easier to handle. It has — like the soprano — that typical and classic ukulele sound and is a bit louder.
The size which is the most popular lately however is the tenor sized one at 26 inches (66 cm). It strays a little bit from the ukulele sound and sounds a more deeper like a classical guitar (more ukulele than classical sound of course) than the soprano and concert ukuleles. Most professional and well known ukulele players choose for the tenor sized ukuleles (e.g. James Hill).
The largest of the bunch comes it at 30 inches (76 cm) and is called the baritone. This one obviously has the deepest tone and sounds even more like a classical nylon stringed guitar. This is the least popular ukulele, since many players choose the ukulele for its size, portability and ukulele sound (and the baritone has kinda a guitar sound). The tuning also differs from the other sizes, it has a more guitar-like tuning.
