The Drive

Ballston Spa is the county seat, a small Victorian village five miles south of Saratoga with a downtown you walk: the courthouse crowd on weekdays, the shops and galleries and antique stores the rest of the time.

About 35 minutes: Route 50 or Route 9 to I-87 north, Exit 18. Park in the Cooper Street lot at The Shirt Factory.

From the Wall: The Fullerton Tele

With a maple neck in gloss urethane and a Telecaster-shaped concert body, the Fullerton Tele uke is the one that looks like the guitars on the next wall. Next to it, the Avalon tenor runs a 17-inch scale, 1.96 inches longer. We carry the Fender Fullerton Tele Ukulele ($259.99).

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.
