Used Ukuleles on Reverb — Fun Instrument Serious Savings
The ukulele might be the most underestimated instrument in music. Four strings, a body the size of a small cat, and the ability to make anyone within earshot smile involuntarily. It's also one of the fastest instruments to achieve basic competence on — which makes it genuinely addictive for beginners. And on Reverb the used ukulele market is surprisingly deep and well-priced.
People buy ukuleles with the best intentions and then life happens. The used ones on Reverb are often barely played — some still have the factory strings on them. Your opportunity is their abandoned New Year's resolution.
Soprano vs Concert vs Tenor — What to Buy Used
Soprano ukuleles are the smallest and most traditionally Hawaiian sounding — the cheapest new and therefore the cheapest used. Concert ukuleles are slightly larger with a warmer tone and more comfortable fret spacing for adult hands. Tenor ukuleles are the largest common size with the most volume and richest tone — the choice of most serious uke players. All three sizes appear consistently on Reverb at used prices well below retail.
Best Ukulele Brands to Find on Reverb
Kala is the most traded ukulele brand on Reverb by a significant margin. Their KA series instruments are reliable, well-made, and available at consistently fair used prices. Lanikai, Cordoba, and Ohana ukuleles round out the best value options. For serious players, Kamaka and Ko'olau Hawaiian-made ukuleles occasionally appear on Reverb at prices still well below their new retail cost.
