That Is Comparatively Recent and I t Came to No-
tice of America Twenty Years Ago.
Fifteen years ago very few Americans knew that
there was such an instrument as the ukulele. Then
it was that "The Bird of Paradise" began to tour
the country, and those who were charmed and moved
by its Hawaiian love tragedy, began to ask what
were those little guitar-like instruments, whose haunt-
ing strains went far to create the atmosphere for
Tully's poignant drama.
The ukulele was introduced into this country some
ten years before that time, together with the folk-

music of Hawaii, but it was "The Bird of Paradise"
that gave both their popular impetus, so that today
Hawaiian records are among the most popular on
the market, Hawaiian orchestras are familiar over
radio, in vaudeville and the cabarets, and the little
instrument enjoys a prominent place in the displays
of music stores.
The origin of the ukulele is as recent as it is in-
teresting. It represents the musical birth of the
Hawaiian people, and its music reflects at once their
temper and their tragedy. The original of this in-
strument, the ukulele, was but a strip of bamboo
with two or three strings of cocoanut fiber. From
this developed the tarpotch, invented about 1879,
which had the shape of a guitar, but was equipped
with only five strings. There followed a modifica-
tion, the present ukulele, which reduced the length
from twenty-five to seventeen inches and the number
of strings by one. All these are gut, which accounts
for its peculiar tone.
In Hawaii the instrument is made from native
woods, called Kau and Kou; but their supply has
become so limited that few genuine Hawaiian uku-
leles now come to this country. The American
make, however, is conceded by many players to be
superior to the native article. The name, ukulele,
is derived from the manner in which Hawaiians play
the instrument, by rapidly skipping their fingers from
one side to the other. The word literally means "a
bouncing flea."
CONN IN BALTIMORE
Enthused over the success of the one hundred
piece baud organized by the Conn Baltimore Com-
pany, 406 North Howard street, the local branch of
the Conn band instruments concern, the company
will now organize its two musical instrument clubs.
One will be the "Mandolin & Guitar Club," which
willl have a membership of SO to be recruited among
the young musically inclined persons of Baltimore,
including young women as well as young men. The
other will be a banjo class, which is still in the
formative stage.
MEANS F I D D L E MAKER.
The name luthier applied to violin makers, still in
use today, reminds one that the making of violins
was connected with the trade of lute-maker, luthier
or liutaro in French or Italian. With the rise of the
violin, workmen in Cremona, Venice, Milan and
some other Italian towns began to devote themselves
exclusively to making the bowed instruments, but
they continued to use the old name which associated
them with lute-making.
