Description
A guitalele (sometimes spelled guitarlele or guilele) is a guitar-ukulele hybrid,that is, “a 1/4 size” guitar, a cross between a classical guitar and a tenor ukulele.The guitalele combines the portability of a ukulele, due to its small size, with the six single strings and resultant chord possibilities of a classical guitar. It may include a built-in microphone that permits playing the guitalele either as an acoustic guitar or connected to an amplifier. The guitalele is variously marketed (and used) as a travel guitar or children’s guitar. A guitalele is the size of a ukulele, and is played like a bass pitched up to “A” (that is, up a 4th, or like a guitar with a capo on the fifth fret). This gives it tuning of ADGCEA, with the top four strings tuned like a low G ukulele. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
