Hey Ron! I came across what I think are 2 ukuleles (ukuleli?)
the other day, but they are quite a bit larger than a standard ukulele. Are there different sizes? Know of any websites that would describe such things? My son is interested in figuring out what they are called and how to tune them.

There`s a whole range of Ukulele from the tiny soprano to a bass. A ukulele has four strings tuned with the same intervals as a guitar cept the forth (top) string is higher, usually ADF#B or GCEA so if you can play the guitar chords to a tune it easily moves onto the ukulele - same fingering less the two lowest strings gives you the same tune but obviously in a higher key.

It`s a great instrument, I think it should be taught in schools as it has everything going for it. low cost, portable, easy to play - specially for tiny hands, no painful fingertips as with a guitar, and you can teach a kid to bash out a recognisable tune in half an hour. Best of all.. it`s impossible to play a ukulele without a silly grin on your face.

Google will throw up a whole plethora of great uke sites.
