What is a veneered ukulele? How many kinds of Creary are there?

Single board ukulele means panel, that is, the piece of wood in front of ukulele is solid wood. This is a concept of piano-making materials. "The corresponding word is' plywood', which means' multi-ply plywood'. It can be seen from the wood grain of its body hole that the wood grain is vertical, so it is a splint, and the wood grain is horizontal, not a veneer.

There are two common shapes in ukuleles: a guitar and a pineapple.

Generally speaking, the pineapple-type sound is better, the timbre is more special, and the guitar-type timbre is more traditional, but the difference between them is not too big.

The origin of ukulele—

From 65438 to 0879, Portuguese professional craftsmen and musical instrument producers ManuelNunes, JoaoFernandes and AugustineDias came to the Hawaiian Islands. As immigrants, they invented and developed the guzheng in their hometown while working in sugarcane fields. Hawaiians are not only surprised by the beautiful timbre of this piano, but also by the rapid movement of the player's fingers on the fingerboard. ?

From then on, Hawaiians called this piano You Creary, which means "jumping flea". Whatever the true story behind ukulele, it became the most popular musical instrument in Hawaii. This is mainly due to the three craftsmen mentioned above.
