NEWBIE FAQS:
For beginner uke players, I recommend a concert (if you are a smaller person) or tenor (for bigger/taller people or former guitar players). Sopranos are often cheaper but can be more difficult to learn on since they're smaller.
BUDGET STARTER UKES under $100
Kohala concert: [ Ссылка ] (if you spend less than this, the uke might sound like a toy)
Kohala tenor: [ Ссылка ]
Makai concert: [ Ссылка ]
Makai tenor: [ Ссылка ]
NICE STARTER UKES $100- $160
Makai tenor: [ Ссылка ]
Islander concert: [ Ссылка ]
Islander tenor: [ Ссылка ]

TUNER: Everyone should have a clip-on tuner - they work by vibration so they're more accurate than phone apps.
I like this one: Snark SN-2 [ Ссылка ]

DAILY UKULELE: If you're looking for a book of songs, the Daily Ukulele is a great resource for classic and traditional songs, including Beatles and jazz standards. Daily Ukulele [ Ссылка ]

LYRICS:
(Section I)
Somewhere over the rainbow, Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of, Once in a lullaby - by

(Section I)
Somewhere over the rainbow, Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of, Dreams really do come true ooh

(Section II)
Someday I'll wish upon a star, Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops, High above the chimney top
That's where you'll find me

(Section I)
Oh, somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to, why, oh why can't I? I?
