The great thing about ukuleles is that they’re much easier to play than other string instruments. Because of their small size, they’re easier to play than a guitar, and you don’t have to hurt yourself to play them like a violin or viola. Ukuleles also have softer, nylon strings, you don’t have to hurt your fingers while you have fun playing.

If you’re a veteran guitarist and are looking for something new to try, why not go for the ukulele? Ukuleles are easy to adapt to from other string instruments, especially guitars. Whether you want to experiment with a new sound, improve your skills, or simply crave change, making the switch to the ukulele is a great idea. You can easily transpose and adapt your guitar chords and songs to fit the four-stringed instrument. Exercise your hearing and coordination and try to come up with the best version for your ukulele. Making the switch is also a great way to broaden your musical instrument CV, so what are you waiting for?
