Concert Ukulele is a sample library for Kontakt and EXS24. It recreates the classic sound of a picked ukulele. For many years, the ukulele has been synonymous with the Hawaiian islands. From the early days when the Portuguese introduced the cavaquinho and the rajão, which the current ukulele is based upon, to current times with virtuosos such as Jake Shimabukuro and Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, the ukulele is a major part of island music. Lately, it has found a resurgence in all types of music.
The concert ukulele is the normal sized uke of the family. It is smaller than the Tenor and the Baritone ukes. It has a classic sound that is instantly recognizable and immediately brings to mind the Hawaiian Islands. The uke is tuned to G-C-E-A (my-dog-has-fleas) with the top string tuned to high G. A technique made popular by some is to have the G an octave lower to fill out the sound but, this is the traditional tuning that I was brought up with.
