[|Making a Ukulele] 2:35 PM . It's easy enough to buy an instrument off the shelf, but how about making one yourself? Dave Gilberd of Goldbeard Guitars left behind a career as an aircraft engineer to pursue the art of guitar making. But sharing his knowledge is also a passion and he relishes the opportunity to teach people how to make their own Ukuleles. Sonia Sly heads along to a workshop held at Wellington High School to find out more.

The ʻukulele was brought to Hawaiʻi in 1878 from the island of [|Madeira]. When Portuguese contract laborers ambled off the ship playing the braguinha (a small four string instrument with metal strings), Hawaiians immediately took to it. The lively melodies coming from the instrument led Hawaiians to call it the ʻukulele, or jumping flea.
