U is for Ukulele

These pint sized instruments have been enjoying a major comeback in recent years. Part of the attraction, I think, is that the ukulele is fairly idiot-proof. With only four strings to deal with, learning and playing chords is pretty easy.

So why not buy one yourself? (They're also relatively cheap.) Find a few chord sheets on the internet, practise a little, and in no time at all you'll think you're the bees-knees. Maybe you'll even film yourself playing your ukulele. Like this wally.



Question: What instrument(s) do you play, and is there one you'd like to learn?

    I played the clarinet and the piano. The ukelele sounds like fun!

    I play a little piano, but nothing mesmerizing. My husband plays guitar and bass. George Harrison loved the ukelele. I remember watching a clip -- great sound.
    Love your choice for U.

    My kids are awesome at playing the ukelele. There are some pretty fun popular songs that they've learned.
