The violin, sometimes known as a fiddle, is a wooden chordophone in the violin family. Most violins have a hollow wooden body. It is the smallest and thus highest-pitched instrument in the family in regular use.

The first group of Portuguese immigrants to Hawaii invented the ukulele after they arrived in August 1879 via the SS Ravenscrag. That ship included cabinet makers from Madeira Island, who brought the Medeiran machete. In their new country, ukulele inventors Manuel Nunes, José do Espírito Santo, and Augusto Dias developed the ukulele, and the Hawaiians adopted it (ukulele means "jumping flea" in Hawaiian).
George E. K. Awai and his Royal Hawaiian Quartet popularized the small, guitar-like instrument when they performed at the Panama Pacific International Exposition at San Francisco in 1915. From then on to the early 1920s, the ukulele became popular on the mainland United States.

"Tomorrow the final day of the sale of ukuleles"
Gift buyers should not fail to take advantage of this special sale of the most popular musical instruments of the day. The ease with which it can be mastered makes the Ukulele the favored instrument with many who have but little time to spend in study and practice necessary for other musical instruments.
These Ukuleles are of our own importation direct from the Hawaiian Isles and for this sale we feature them at about half of what you would pay in a specialty store.
SPECIAL NO. 1--Ukuleles of polished hardwood, well shaped, finished and strung; have full rich tone; are very special indeed at $2.49.

The cuatro of Venezuela has four single nylon strings, tuned (ADF#B). It is similar in shape and tuning to the 'ukulele, but their character and playing technique are vastly different. It is tuned in a similar fashion to the traditional D tuning of the 'ukulele, but the D and F# are an octave higher. Consequently, the same fingering can be used to shape the chords, but it produces a different inversion of each chord.

"A friend of mine has just returned from Honolulu where he purchased one hundred dozen ukuleles. He shipped me a good selection at lower prices than I could obtain anywhere else, so I am able to offer a good quality ukulele at $4.85 and up."
