What are the characteristics of the Ukulele?įor its physical characteristics (small size, few strings and frets) and functional (simple use, modest chords) the ukulele is an instrument that can be played by anyone of any age both a young child and an older person can enjoy their harmony. Examples of songs known and performed by this instrument are “Somewhere over the rainbow” or “I m yours”.
