Invented in 139BC by the Portuguese lusitani tribe, the ukulele was firstly known as the 'machete de braguinho', or 'small piece of wood'.The braguinho, then made from pine, was introduced much later to Hawaii (actually pronounced Havaii) in 1878, by the Portugese sailors of the ship, the ravenscrag. It was there, on Honolulu beach, where the term ukulele was coined. Local natives compared the strumming technique to a jumping flea, which is what ukulele means in english.Today this 'small piece of wood' has re-introduced itself and is heard across a vast array of musical genres from a recent influx of ukulele virtuosos, such as Jake Shimbukuro, the national ukulele orchestra of Great Britain and of course the late, great Brudda Iz.The instrument itself comes in many forms, shapes and sizes, soprano being the smallest, concert being the next larger size, followed by the wound 'c' strung tenor for extra resonance and the largest being the mighty baritone with both wound 'c' and 'g' strings. There are even 8 string ukuleles where the wound string is in various positions. Mahalo!
