UKULELES
The Ukulele as we know, took shape in Hawaii, but it was derived from an instrument called a machete that was passed on by Portuguese immigrants in the 1870s. It’s commonly found with four nylon strings and smaller body than the acoustic guitar.
That are four common varieties: soprano, concert, tenor and baritone. These vary in terms of size, scale length and tuning.
Its distinct sound and accessible format has made the humble ukulele more popular than ever before!
