The ukulele

 

Today I'm you to talk about one of my favourite instruments, the ukulele.

 This instrument is from Hawaii, and is a member of the lute family of instruments. It generally employs four nylon or gut strings or four courses of strings.
The ukulele is originated in the 19th century as a Hawaiian adaptation of the Portuguese machete, a small guitar-like instrument, which was introduced to Hawaii by Portugueses inmigrants. It gained great popularity elsewhere in theUnited States during the early 20th century and from there spread internationally.
The tone and volume of the instrument vary with size and construction. Ukuleles commonly come in four sizes: soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone.
