Harp ukulele

Okay kiddo, so you know what the ukulele is right? It's a small guitar kinda thing with four strings. Now imagine adding some more strings to it. How many do you like? Let's say 6. Now imagine putting the ukulele and the guitar together. You kinda get something called a harp ukulele!

It's called a harp ukulele because it looks like a little harp. The strings are arranged in a way that makes it look like a tiny harp with a long neck. The harp ukulele has six strings instead of the usual four on a regular ukulele. This makes it sound different and allows you to play more tunes.

The way you play it is also slightly different from playing the regular ukulele. You have to use all your fingers to press down on the six strings at the same time so that you can create different sounds.

So, in summary, a harp ukulele is like a small harp mixed with a ukulele, it has six strings instead of four, and requires more fingers to play it. It's a cool instrument that lets you make even more beautiful music!
