What is it about the ukulele that has made this instrument so infectious? The ukulele has a care-free sound long associated with hula skirts, coconuts, and a slower-paced life. This charming instrument has enjoyed a few renaissances, and we’re in the middle of one right now. Pop stars such as Eddie Vedder and LP have whole albums dedicated to the “uke,” as many musicians refer to their instrument.
