Also, it’s a good starting point if OP thinks they might want to learn guitar eventually.

OP, make sure to buy from a music shop or get someone knowledgeable to help you pick out an inexpensive beginner uke. There are lots of toy ukuleles (and guitars) for sale out there that are not playable even for beginner learning. It’s really a shame that they are made because a lot of people get tricked into buying them.

Avoid target, Walmart, Best Buy, and the like for buying musical instruments. If you want to buy one online and don’t know someone to help you, I’m sure there are lemmings that will help you find one.
