Unless your band is doing a bluegrass cover of Tiny Tim's "Tiptoe Through The Tulips" you may not have need for a ukulele. But you still might like to know the popularity of the instrument is surging.
According to the Deering Banjo company, the last five years have seen significant growth in the playing of both the banjo and the ukulele.
The banjo/ukulele combination is not new, they've been around since the 1920's.
