Ukulele Chords - Learn To Play The Licks In C-Major

You can use your thumb to pluck the instrument, although it will most likely get calloused after a while. This is why so many people decide to use a pick. Unlike the picks for guitars, ukulele picks are made of felt and are softer.

Costs beyond the instrument are also low. You generally will only need a few things in addition to the instrument itself. This includes a tuner, so you or your child can keep the ukulele in tune. A gig bag or case is useful for protecting the instrument when storing or transporting it. Tuners and gig bags can be purchased for around $20 each. You will also need to buy strings and replace them regularly. These are also reasonably priced, generally starting at $5 for a pack of strings.

You don't have to spend a fortune on a ukulele, but it is worth spending a little more than the very cheapest models. Fifty to a hundred dollars will get you a ukulele that should stay in tune and not have too many intonation problems.

That is why makers do not stop looking for new wood that will help the ukulele produce a cleaner sound.
