Size and range The tenor ukulele is the largest in our current Octopus range and is the next step up from the concert in size. They have a few extra frets on the neck meaning a slightly larger range. In addition, the extra size makes the tenor have a deeper and fuller sound and resonant tone as well as allowing for more space between the strings and frets.
