This four-stringed, exotic-sounding instrument was given its name in Hawaii in 1879. Ukulele means something like "jumping flea", which is intended to convey the impression that the fingers move quickly across the fingerboard. During the Pacific War, American soldiers brought ukuleles to New Guinea. There they were one of the few imported musical instruments and made it possible to form string bands after 1945. In England, it became popular as an accompanying instrument for skiffle music. The instrument became better known through the Billy Wilder film "Some Like It Hot", in which Marylin Monroe plays a ukulele. In Germany, the ukulele has been around since the end of the 1990s.
Hardly any other musical instrument arouses more holiday feelings and a longing for sun, sand and palm trees in us than the ukulele. It is very easy to learn and that makes it the perfect entry-level tool. As a result, the ukulele has become a very popular and in great demand instrument in recent years.
