I almost have a tin ear, but love plunking around on my standard ukulele. The pineapple shape is so cute I wanted to make it my second uke, but didn't want to buy something just because it looked different.... but thank you for proving they sound different! I even "quizzed myself" by covering the screen and skipping around, and I could still tell which was which. Now I have the evidence I needed to treat myself, haha.
Wow 😮 Huge difference. I hear the pineapple as darker and more "reserved" and the standard ukulele as warmer and more forthcoming. Both are very lovely!
The pineapple seemed more rounded out like the sound reached. "8" shaped ukulele was more sharp. With each drum, the sound had a crazy attack. The pineapple shape was smooth
Wow. First real comparison I have seen (heard 🤓). A clear difference. Worth having both. If having to choose it would be the standard as I like plucky brighter sopranos. But if I could only have one it would be the pineapple because of its more balanced tone. Cheers.
I was given a pineapple ukulele about a year ago, to learn how to play. I'm not musical at all- I love music, always have, but can't read it and haven't played anything since junior high band. I'm 55. I F*CKING love playing the ukulele now, I love the feeling of making a great sound- with my own fingers! It's kinda mind-blowing. I know I suck at it but I love it all the same. After hearing the differences between these two, I am ridiculously grateful that I got a pineapple! I love the warm round tone! Thank you!
I was in touch with them directly for some photos for an advert for UKE Magazine some months ago and I asked them the same thing - please make a tenor version!
Both seem to be really nice instruments. I think I agree with your appraisal/comparison of the tone, based on what I hear in my headphones. I've been coming across Uma more and more lately, I see that they make some beautiful instruments. Maybe my next one... ?!
Thanks for the comparison Matt. Your playing was consistent and showed off the differences nicely. I liked both in different ways. For the price, it's hard to choose. Buy one, get one free? 😅
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 what a cracking pineapple uke... was that a little ditty Super Mario? Anyway both sound really good so it's lovely to have different choices at the end of the day!
Nice comparison! A pineapple never interested me, but this video changed my mind. If I buy another ukulele, I'll think about a pineapple instead of the Ohana Pequeno I had looked into.
thank you im building 1 from paddlepop sticks and bamboo skewers wanted to make it that shape for ease of construction have never seen 1 b4 and i love that extra bass sound however i went the the norm next will be pineapple will be a 5 stringer is why im doing this
Fantastic! The difference is clear, and it was a good joke. I should also apologise - I accidentally hit the thumbs down before cancelling and hitting thumbs up as intended.
I don't know whether to say"The Pineapple shape produces a richer sound" or that "It takes a lot of the jangly brightness out of the sound of a Concert size". I think it's rather like the difference between high and low g on a Tenor. In other words there's a place for both depending on your style and of course the style of the piece you play. My preference would be the Pineapple shape as it is for a low g tenor and I would consider it as an alternative to a long neck Concert with a low g string set. To my ear the Pineapple did sound more like a low g Uke when strummed. This is why so many of us develop severe cases of UAS isn't it. 🤣 And frankly, you're not helping. 🤔😁
Yabsolutely spot on with your description of the pineapple shape! Only now I'm interested to hear what it sounds like compared to a Uma tenor ukulele 😁 I wonder if the pineapple shape is more difficult to hold due to its thicker body you'd say? e.g. does it sit further away from the body than a regular shaped uke? -'everything you wanted to know about pineapples and melons but were afraid to ask' 😂- And Matt, that Caribbean music... that's not being silly that's just certifiably NUTS 🤣 LOL!!
No sooner have I ticked one video off my list and now I have another to do! I don't find it more difficult to hold... but I may have a bit of a blind spot here as I hold all sorts of shapes and sizes (of uke!) every day. It is a bit like ukulele necks... if I had a ukulele with a neck shaped like toblerone I probably wouldn't notice!
@@WorldofUkes'Pineapple, melons, apples, oranges...' ⚖️ 🤩 Boy, this is turning into a whole fruit basket! Oh, and a Toblerone to boot. Yum! So no favourite shape of uke you gravitate to?
Oh No! Matt… No sooner than I had to turn off your top ten as the 🍍sounded so nice. You then do this video……man o man. At this rate am going to have to cite your videos as the reason for my divorce 🤣🤣, am renaming it the painapple. On a serious note, I do really like the Uma pineapple, it is more bass and mids for me. Turning off again. Thanks Matt have a great week.
Ah... I've got another 300 pineapple Uma demos on my to-do list for next week! ;) (If it helps, right now there's a used - but perfect - one in the special offers!)

pineapple seemed way more full and rich with more deep sound...
Wow 😮 Huge difference. I hear the pineapple as darker and more "reserved" and the standard ukulele as warmer and more forthcoming. Both are very lovely!
Not bad for £199 I don't think, no!
Frankly, surprised me is.
I didn’t expect the difference to be that significant!
I am so pleased there was a detectable difference (or it would have been a pointless video!)
The pineapple seemed more rounded out like the sound reached.
"8" shaped ukulele was more sharp.
With each drum, the sound had a crazy attack.
The pineapple shape was smooth

That's not just 'a little bit' warmer. At least on the recording where I hear it from.
It makes a big difference!
Thanks, great comparison! They both sound really nice. I think I need both.

Very interesting. The pineapple is, to my ear, warmer and more mellow. If there were a baritone pineapple I'd be really interested.
I think a tenor pineapple with Romero UBB strings would be an interesting option - so that's the same tuning as a baritone.
I really wish uma made this pineapple in a tenor or concert long neck. I've thought about buying the blue concert a bunch 😂
I was in touch with them directly for some photos for an advert for UKE Magazine some months ago and I asked them the same thing - please make a tenor version!

Nice video dude! Totally heard the difference and helped me choose my ukulele!!!
Getting my pineapple in two days! Really excited ❤

No, that was "Royalty Free Calpyso Music #1"!

Wow. Hard to choose. Thanks for your review, and the pineapple is a rounder sound!
It seems logical that a pineapple should be rounder and sweeter!
@@WorldofUkes yes!

Excellent video! May I ask if you know the song from 4:17 to 5:42 ?
Fantastic! The difference is clear, and it was a good joke.
I should also apologise - I accidentally hit the thumbs down before cancelling and hitting thumbs up as intended.
I had imagined plenty of people doing that during the 'joke'!
@@WorldofUkes :) I liked the joke.
Double bout = crisp/clear: pineapple = warm/ smoky

@@touchwood7180 Nope, I'm easy!
This was a really nice comparison Matt. I particularly liked the extra fullness to the high notes up the fretboard on the Pineapple.🙂
I think you’re right. More changslang on the double bout, more traditional Hawaiian sound on the pineapple.
changslang is a new one on me, but makes sense!
@@WorldofUkes Typo. Sorry. Meant chang a lang!
Maybe not entirely scientific, but I think your feeling definitely stands up to scrutiny. Those two instruments sounded very different.
Thank you - I mentioned that as I suddenly had a feeling that I might be wrong, having not done any preparation in advance!
Which songs did you play?
Just things I made up off the top of my head.
like just for the silly joke 🤣, comment cause thankss very helpfullll🙏
