Hey guys! Some of you are confused on my pronunciation of "ukulele". In Hawaii, it is pronounced OO-KOO-LE-LE. It is the original pronunciation coined by the Hawaiians who named this instrument. When the ukulele was brought to Hawaii from the island of Medeiros (island off of Portugal), the Hawaiians were amazed by the nimbleness of fingers which reminded them of jumping fleas. Uku = Flea and Lele = Jumping. Ukulele = Jumping Flea. The pronunciation has since been altered to YU-KA-LEY-LEE and YU-KOO-LEY-LEY by the US and other countries, however the original pronunciation is OO-KU-LE-LE. In Hawaii, it is pronounced this way. Hope this helps! Aloha. :)

YES it’s always bothered me when people say “yoo-koo-lay-lee” but when I pronounce it right you get the “you’re saying it wrong!1!1!1!1”

When she said, “ for intermediates, it’s about 500” I fainted

It's funny how some people will complain about anything and everything. 😄 This musician has traveled the world performing for huge audiences playing her ukulele. She is saying it exactly correct....out of respect for a wonderful traditional instrument with a long history. 👍🏼

@@dialatedmcd It's in the alphabet, though. They were brought up that way. They have an accent like other countries, so you can't blame them. Dk why they get bashed for things like this. Unless they're actually disrespectful towards how it is originally pronounced.

Lets start off by looking at a beginner's (picks up $25 clear plastic uke).... Next we'll look at something more intermediate... for $500... I think there must be a whole gap in between because you can find a whole range of quality on 6-string guitars between $200 and $500

@WA-ge3vz

Intermediate as in the most literal middle ground from never picked one up beginner to master player. A 100-$500 uku is for the experienced beginner group. Which is most of us probably.

I love hearing one of the greatest Uke Genius of all time describe the "thingy-thing".

I think it is also very crucial to check for a straight neck and no buzz of any string on any fret. The mentioned moving back of the tuning peg can be often repaired simply by tightening the screw in the peg. repairing a buzzing fret is much more complicated...

Very nice and useful video. It’s exactly what I was looking for! I wish all buying guides would look as this one!

I love your music. I recently picked up a guitalele (a six string instrument about the size of a tenor ukulele that has the same tuning as if you were to capo a regular guitar to the 5th fret) and I love it! Sounds just like a ukulele

😀Excellent info. I just forwarded it to a friend who is looking for an uke.

WHY AM I SO OBSESSES WITH THESE...

that first clear looking ukulele is soo beautiful omg 😍

Guys, the original pronunciation of ukelele is ook-a-lay-lay. It obviously originated from Hawaii and our pronunciation was completely butchered from the original. So stop hating on her.

Your playing is awesome. This video was helpful too. Btw, Elton John called, he wants his glasses back!

I have just recently bought a new Excelsior tenor ukulele for 169GBP and am really pleased with the quality of it and it has a good pick-up with tuner/equalizer fitted too. One thing you could maybe go into a bit, Taimane, is the different sizes of ukuleles and their uses

This was exactly what I wanted and from my favorite player too!

just search on Amazon. There are good ones between $100-150. look for 4 to 5 star ones with over 50 reviews. Then you can copy and past the name of the uku into KZread and watch videos demonstrating it. That is how I ended up with a Lohanu concert. If you want to sound really good when actually "performing" tho, $500 is pretty much the minimum as far as I can tell.

Taimane! You are an amazing musician and I'm so glad you also give back in the way of educating people on your craft in your videos. One thing I wish you would talk about is soprano versus concert (neck length) versus tenor and other ukuleles. Clearly most people choose sopranos, because they are what is most available, but maybe there ought to be more tenor players or even the rare ukulele bass player...with those crazy rubber strings! What about banjulele?! Is that blasphemy or a welcome addition? I want to know your thoughts on all the variety of ukuleles out there! Thanks!!

can you advise me on which ukulele you use

I am getting one today.

Listen for the tonal quality of the instrument. If it is anything like guitars the tone will vary. Choose one with a tone you like. More expensive doesn't necessarily mean better tone.

Taimane please do a tutorial on your Star Spangled Banner Video

all the best

Just love you .

@icedcreams1936

Some ukuleles have multiple strings that give it a deeper sound, almost like a guitar! You can tune them in a couple different ways, so you should look up the varieties based off the amount of strings a particular instrument has :)

forget the kala intermediate and beginner one. Go for an Aklot. under $100 has a pickup and has great sound. check out the youtube review of it as proof.
