Tahitian Ukulele
RatingsTahitian ukuleles are very different from the standard Hawaiian ukulele. They are solid bodied, and have eight strings (in pairs tuned like a standard uke). They are also always intricately carved: dolphins and turtles seem to be popular themes. They have a much sharper tone than standard ukuleles (closer to a banjolele). The sound of them is probably most recognisable from the Arrested Development theme tune.
You can visit a couple of site dedicated to the Tahitian ukulele here and here and watch a series of videos on how to play the Tahitian ukulele here.

I LOVE THIS BAND!!! They were able to capture the original essence of the song while bringing a whole new spirit! In the world today, it is hard to find a band with the musical prowess to create such musical magic!! The cohesion of the band as a whole is utterly impressive. If this band is not signed by a major label, please contact me so I can attempt to remedy this situation.
