Considering Learning to Play the Ukulele

United States
September 5, 2016 11:49pm CST
Lately I've been seeing a lot of videos of on youtube of people doing covers of songs while playing a ukulele. I've found that I really love the sound of that instrument and they look easier to handle than a guitar. The prices don't look too bad but I will have to wait until my hours pick up at work and I can afford to spend some extra cash. Do any of you guys play any instruments?

I Can't play any instrument.But I think that is a good thing to play musical instruments, because it can relax.I had learned a harmonica and flute, but have not learned.I think playing musical instruments,is very cool

I use to play Piano in the middle school but I lost my mojo. I want to learn a violin the most. Weird Trivia: You can use a violin as a Ukelele, this song used a Violin as one:

It's easy to forget things when you don't use them for a while. I'm sure if you started again you could pick it up easily.

The man who sang When You Wish Upon a Star In Pinocchio was named Cliff Edwards and his nickname was Ukelele Ike because that was his instrument.

Ukelele is an easy instrument to play, it's basically a small guitar less the 2 base strings. Cebu province in the Philippines makes the best here and I think are exported, good quality and real cheap if you buy them here.

I wonder what's the price range for a ukulele. I only play the piano.

I looked on amazon and there are plastic ukuleles for about 35 dollars. Others go up to 100. It's not too bad.
