Stagg US10 Tattoo soprano ukulele

General

Playing the guitar is an attractive prospect, but for some (especially small children) a full-size guitar is still too big to hold. The US10 Tattoo soprano ukulele by Belgian brand Stagg is a great alternative for these people. This moderately priced starter model ukulele might be the start of a great musical career! Just think of musicians like Israel ‘Iz’ Kamakawiwo’ole, who made the ukulele famous with his rendition of ‘Over the Rainbow’.

About the ukulele
In the 19th century, Portuguese migrants from Madeira brought the machete (a small, guitar-like instrument) to Hawaii. On this tropical island, the machete evolved into the ukulele, or ‘jumping flea’, as the indigenous people of Hawaii called it. In the 20th century the instrument conquered the United States and its popularity increased. A ukulele is slightly smaller than a guitar and usually has four strings. It has a higher pitch than a guitar, which makes it easy to distinguish amongst other instruments. The ukulele may be small, but it has a great presence!
