Ukuleles Near Albany, NY

Ukuleles near Albany: Paul's Guitar Hideout is about 45 minutes north of Albany on I-87. As of November 6, 2026, 9 Fender ukuleles are on the wall, starting at $115.99. The wall also has D'Addario Nyltech string sets for every size.

Exit 18 is a straight shot up I-87: no turns, no city traffic, about forty-five minutes from the Empire Plaza.

The Drive

Albany is the capital, the big city at the bottom of the Northway, and we're the top of the same map: Glens Falls is the far north end of the Capital District.

About 45 minutes north on I-87. Park in the Cooper Street lot at The Shirt Factory.

From the Wall: The Avalon tenor

The Avalon tenor gives the most room between frets of any uke here, on a 17-inch scale with a walnut fingerboard and a pull-through bridge. Next to it, the Fullerton Tele uke runs a 15.04-inch scale, 1.96 inches shorter. We carry the Fender Avalon Tenor Ukulele ($149.99).

Where We Are

We're on the second floor of The Shirt Factory in Glens Falls. The building went up in 1902 as a men's shirt factory and made shirts until 1996. Today it's home to more than 70 studios, shops and galleries, and now a guitar shop. Use the Cooper Street entrance and take the stairs up. If stairs are difficult or you're bringing in something you don't want to carry up, call or text us and we'll arrange access.

Ukuleles We Stock

All of them are Fender, and they cover the three sizes most players want: soprano, concert, and tenor. The Venice soprano is the smallest and the least expensive at $115.99. The Avalon tenor has the longest scale and the most room between frets, which suits anyone coming over from guitar. The Zuma concert sits between them. The Fullerton Tele and Jazzmaster are concert-scale ukuleles built to look like their electric namesakes, and they have a pickup so they can be plugged in.

Prices start at $115.99. Every one on the wall is there to play before you buy.

Which Size to Start On

Soprano is the traditional size and the sound most people picture when they hear the word ukulele. Concert is a little bigger with more space between frets. Tenor is bigger again, and it is the size we point guitar players toward, because the neck feels less cramped to a hand used to six strings.

For a child, soprano. For an adult starting fresh, concert. For a guitar player adding one, tenor.

Strings and Restrings

D'Addario Nyltech sets on the wall for soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone, $8.99 to $9.99. If you would rather not do the job yourself, a ukulele restring is $25 plus strings. Full pricing is on the repair and setup pricing page.
