The ukulele (sometimes called the "Hawaiian Guitar") is a member of the lute family of instruments. It generally employs four nylon strings. Developed in the 1880s of Portuguese origin, it is a type of small, guitar-like instrument which was popularized in Hawaii due to the ardent support and promotion of the instrument by King Kalākaua, who reigned over Hawaii from 1874 until his death in 1891. A patron of the arts, he incorporated the ukulele into performances at royal gatherings.
Note: The first 78 RPM record came into existence around 1894, and in 1912 the Gramophone Company established 78 Rotations Per Minute (RPM) as their recording standard. The production of shellac records continued throughout the 78 rpm era, with "non-breakable" 78 rpm vinyl records being introduced in the 1940s. The popularity of the 33 1/3 rpm "Long Play" record, initially released in 1948, caused the 78 rpm record to become obsolete before the end of the 1950s. As these 78 rpm recordings are quite old, they may contain derogatory language and/or negative stereotypes. It is important to evaluate such recordings within their historical context and consider them as a reflection of the attitudes prevalent at the time. These recordings form an integral part of the historical record and do not represent the views of this poster, channel, or Bowness Arts.
