According to wikipedia “The ukulele (/ˌjuːkəˈleɪli/ YOO-kə-LAY-lee; from Hawaiian: ʻukulele [ˈʔukuˈlɛlɛ], approximately OO-koo-LEH-leh) is a member of the lute family of instruments of Portuguese origin and popularized in Hawaii. It generally employs four nylon strings.
The tone and volume of the instrument vary with size and construction. Ukuleles commonly come in four sizes: soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone.
The ukulele is commonly associated with music from Hawaii, where its name roughly translates as “jumping flea”,[4] perhaps because of the movement of the player’s fingers.”According to us, the ukulele is a small, affordable (in almost every sense of the word) instrument you will start loving in seconds.
