Ukulele

The ukulele is an inexpensive and fun instrument to play.  A soprano ukulele is small and weighs very little.  It works well with children who have little hands and adults enjoy it too.  The chords are easy to learn especially because of the instrument’s tuning and the fact that it has only four strings.
