Songs of love lost and love found, ukulele music is cupid’s
arrow that pierces your heart. Listen to the sounds of the ukulele be captivated beyond your wildest dreams.
One of the first ukuleles was
shaped like
a small guitar less than half the size, and with it being that size I believe it would have sounded probably a little deeper in tone, maybe not to different from the old style lute and maybe because of only 4 strings on it. But like anything there is always progress and he ukulele went through the same thing till what it has become now. Another name for the small guitar shaped ukulele is the Kamaka that is from
Hawaii
, used more now a days for the lead rhythm.
The
tahitian
style comes from one piece of wood traditionally carved with motifs added as decorations. These instruments are usually strung with
eight strings
creating their own unique sound, like listening to up beat angles playing their harps.
Ukulele music
also came out of half a coconut shell used to make the body and sounding mechanism of a 4 string instrument. These are mostly made as a gift but can be used in hula music. In the
Cook Islands
this was a typical way to make ukulele's in the early years of their production.
