The ukulele is a wonderful instrument for starter string players, for experienced musicians on other instruments who want a great tool for writing pop, jazz, or vaudeville-style tunes (this is how I essentially came to the uke from guitar), and for playing in the passenger seat and bothering the driver on long trips.

I play and teach baritone, tenor, concert, and soprano ukulele, along with banjo, electric, and Turkish cümbüş versions of all of the above.
