Ukulele Tuning
The wildly popular Hawaiian ukulele worked its way into the hearts of Hawaiians soon after its introduction by Portuguese immigrants who came to the islands to work in the sugar cane fields in the late eighteenth century. The rapid hand movement used to strum the tiny instrument prompted islanders to call it “ukulele” after a jumping flea. Islanders took an immediate liking to the new sound and within 10 years the Hawaiian ukulele which many called “the people’s instrument” became the most important musical instrument in the islands. Over the years the ukulele’s place in Hawaiian history remained firmly established amid immense peaks, such as in the early and mid 1900’s when Hawaiian ukulele fever spilled over to the mainland, and during the valleys, such as during the 1960’s when the musical style turned toward rock and roll. The Hawaiian ukulele’s impact on island music has remained constant however, with each generation passing its skills on to the next, creating a musical legacy that many call “the voice of Hawaii.”

How a uke should sound!!!,
By Curly Koa "uke fan" (Seattle, WA United States) I have been a fan of the ukulele since growing up in Hawaii and hearing some really good players. IZ of course is a favorite with his ability to make a few clear notes have so much feeling. Troy in this CD captures some really great uke playing and has the ability to have a lot of flourish without going over the top(easy to do I guess). There is good feeling with some very complex playing. I would highly recommend this to someone new to the uke as well as those who have loved it for many years.

Great uke solo album,
By leilei (Honolulu HI) The guy's got this awesome fast picking & cording style! This album is one of my favorite ukulele albums, I play it very often while working. He covers most Hawaiian classic songs with his unique arrangements. Among uke players it's common to hear of playing a song "troy fernandez style". FYI You can see him performing in Waikiki by the Moana Surfrider quite often (plenty of videos on youtube).
