Five reasons why ukulele is the perfect Hong Kong instrument
At just 53.5cm long and 16.4cm wide, the standard soprano ukulele is ideal for our space-challenged city
While there are no ukuleles designed for children, they can pick up the instrument easily because the strings aren't hard like those on the guitar.
1. You won’t get stopped, harassed or followed by MTR staff when you take one on a subway train.
2. It’ll fit easily into your 176 sq ft microflat without touching the walls when you play it.
4. When a learner’s chords are a bit off, it’s much less painful to bear than those on most other instruments - especially the recorder.
5. You can easily take it to the beach (so says Hawaiian professional player Taimane Gardner, who performs next week in Hong Kong)
