Why is your guitar weeping? I don't understand artistes at all.

I have my Grand Uncles Tiple, I wish I knew how to play it.
It has 6 more strings that the ukelele.

Quite the rage in the 20's and 30's

That’s way better than my piano version hack of this beautiful melody.

This is one of my go to songs sitting at the key board. I could just enjoy playing the chords. The Beatles had quite a few chord changes in their music which had come a long way from their three chord 1 4 5 blues roots.

Something I had read was that George kept a number of Ukes at his home, and it wasn't unusual for him to break them out when friends would visit for impromptu jam sessions.

Buster Keaton on the Yuke, Cliff Edwards singing the scat (30 seconds in) ...Yukes were in a lot of movies in the depression era.

I guess it’s time for a comeback! :-) :-(

Looks too big to be a soprano uke. Is it a tenor? I can’t get it to play.

Here's one of my favorite versions.

At 3:28, Prince steps up to the plate and shows all those wannabe guitar slingers how it's done.
