The ukulele or ‘uke’ as it’s lovingly referred to, is an instrument both beginners and experts can learn and enjoy. For its dainty size, it can make a powerfully cheerful sound too. It’s also the perfect travel companion, as it’s so easy to carry around.

“You can pick up a ukulele and anybody can learn to play a couple of tunes in a day or even a few hours. And if you want to get good at it, there’s no end to what you can do.” George Harrison
