About the Ukulele
A ukulele is a small musical instrument with 4 strings.
Ukuleles are usually made of wood and have fretted necks. Ukuleles were
developed in Hawai'i during ukulele the 19th century, after Spanish seafarers
had introduced guitars to the islands. In Hawai'ian, 'ukulele' means 'jumping
flea'.
Ukuleles, much like acoustic guitars, are useful as a
rhythmic accompaniment instrument for a singer or a band. Because of their
size, strings, and physical properties, ukuleles produce a less full sound than
their 6-string cousins - they give no bass notes. I firmly believe, however,
that what ukuleles lack in tonal range they more than make up for with charm.
(You may agree, if you have come this far.) Not only is the ukulele itself cute
as a bug, but as a singer, it gives you more contact with your audience - the
difference is like that between speaking from a podium and speaking with
crib-cards in your hand.
