The Hawaii-related ukulele thread

[MyManao]

I wasnʻt sure.  It appeared to have six strings, no?

Ukuleles come with different number of strings. Traditionally there are 4 but 5 and 6 string instruments are common.

The distinction of a Ukulele is its scale length. That's the overall length of the vibrating string. And you'll note that ukus have a very short length. Whereas guitar's are quite a bit longer, and bass guitars even more..

Same same with violin and all the other instruments that follow up to an upright bass.. same design more or less, different scale lengths.
