si-ukulele-lrgThe ukulele is a Hawaiian instrument adapted from guitars brought to the islands by Portuguese immigrants. The name, which roughly translates to “hopping flea”, was possibly inspired by the quick movement of the fingers over the strings. It is considered an excellent instrument to begin learning to strum on, and has an exceptionally sweet and charming sound. It is tuned to G-C-E-A, and comes in four different sizes – soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone.
