The Ukulele is often associated with Hawaii, although it actually comes from a guitar-like instruments of Portuguese origin and oddly enough means "jumping flea" in Hawaiian, maybe because your fingers resemble a flea jumping around on the fret board while you are playing.
If you're looking for a well made great sounding instrument you can trust a Lanikai Ukulele which are actually made by the Hohner music company which make many high quality musical instrument. You'll find each ukulele's sound to be as soothing as a white sand beach as you strum to the tune of the ocean.
Beginner ukulele players will especially enjoy the superb craftsmanship in the entry level lu 21. Here are a few details:
Scale Length: 13.625"
Nato wood top, back, and sides
Rosewood fingerboard and bridge
Geared tuners
White binding on the top
4 strings
12 frets
It's important to keep your Lanikai Ukulele in good condition so that it can keep its rich full sound for years to come.
Keep your Ukulele in its case when you are not playing it, this will protect it from heat, outside forces and humidity bumps.
Use a reputable polish to clean your instrument from time to time (do not use wax).
Change your strings often, a cheap ukulele with new strings will often sound better than an superb ukulele with old strings.
Use a cotton cloth to wipe down the body and strings after you play.
Never let it get wet.
The Honer company has been making the Lanikai Ukulele for quite some time now and has expanded their line up from the entry level lanikai lu 21 soprano ukulele that retails for around $80 to the more expensive $400+ Lanikai SM-CE Limited Edition Spalted Mango Concert Acoustic-Electric Ukulele.
