Important Parts of the Ukulele (a Beginner’s Guide)


On this site I whole-heartedly recommend various books and materials for becoming a better ukulele player.
Some links are affiliate links and help support my efforts in the form of a few pennies here and there.
Thank you for your support.


A beginner’s intro to the parts of the ukulele … body, lower & upper bouts, neck, head stock, tuners, strings, fret wires, fret numbers, fret markers, saddle, bridge, and, not to be left out, finger numbers. Also some tips about string stretch, dressing your frets and adjusting the nut and saddle.
