[Dixielandjazz] While my ukulele gently weeps

[Bill Gunter]

Hi Stephen (and all) -

Regarding that "small guitar" --

It looks and sounds like a baritone ukulele (which is tuned like the top 
four strings of the guitar).

It was Arthur Godfrey's (remember him?) favorite instrument.

I have one which I absolutely love - they're great in quiet settings to 
accompany songs and guitarists will find them very easy to adapt.  As a solo 
instrument they function just as any guitar would and, basically, if you can 
coax a tune from a guitar you should have no problem with the baritone Uke.

The Musician's friend catalog has some listed which you can see if you just

Cheers,

Bill "Aloha" Gunter
