Do you want to travel with a small musical instrument?

I bought a guitar but it was too heavy for me to carry around. So I bought a ukelele.
It looks like a small guitar, with a wooden sound box and four strings.

I was discussing the ukelele with a friend who has one.

"You can soon learn to strum along to a song on a ukelele," he said, 'by learning to play three chords, F A and G."

He continued, "If you are performing in a small room, a ukelele could be just right for you. However, if you are performing on stage, you might want something larger which make louder sound, a banjolele.

"A banjo is rather like a drum, with a hide covering. A banjolele is a cross between a ukelele and a banjo. It is bigger than a Ukelele. It produces a bigger sound."

Ah, now I know. Or think I know.
