What Is A Ukulele?

A ukulele is a guitar-like instrument and is very popular in the Hawaii islands. It is an instrument that falls under the lute family. Any plucked string instrument with a deep round back, neck, and hollow cavity generally with an opening in the body as the soundhole is called a lute instrument. It can either be fretted or unfretted.

The instrument was introduced by the Portugal migrants to Hawaiians in the early 1800s. This instrument is generally made of wood with nylon strings. The instrument of the ukulele comes in four types or sizes. The first is Soprano (standard ukulele), concert, tenor, and baritone. The soprano ukulele is the most common type in the Hawaii islands.

How does a ukulele work?

A ukulele as said is very similar to a small guitar. This instrument has a wooden base, a neck, and strings. The strings are attached to the pegs at the corner of the neck. They have a tuning mechanism for the player to tighten or loosen the tension on the strings before they are played. These adjustments to the tension on the string is done to raise or decrease the pitch of the string.

So, each string is tied or tuned to a specific pitch or sound. The ukulele is strummed with one hand and the other hand is used to fret the strings on the neck fingerboard. By fretting the strings on the fingerboard at various places along the fingerboard, the luthier can shorten or lengthen the part of the string that is convulsing and thus produce higher or lower-pitched music.
