This is a larger than trade sized booklet with cardstock covers, and a stapled spine. The booklet is in Near Fine condition and, was issued without a dust jacket. The text pages are clean and, bright. "The Ukulele is commonly associated with music from, Hawaii where the name roughly translates as "jumping flea",, perhaps because of the movement of the player's fingers. Legend, attributes it to the nickname of the Englishman Edward William, Purvis, one of King Kalakaua's officers, because of his small, size, fidgety manner, and playing expertise. One of the, earliest appearances of the word Ukulele in print (in the sense, of a stringed instrument) is in the Metropolitan Museum of, Art's Catalogue of the Crosby Brown Collection of Musical, Instruments of All Nations published in 1907. The catalog, describes two ukuleles from Hawaii: one that is similar in size, to a modern soprano Ukulele, and one that is similar to a, tenor. Developed in the 1880s, the Ukulele is based on several, small guitar-like instruments of Portuguese origin, the, machete, the cavaquinho, the timple, and the rajão, introduced, to the Hawaiian Islands by Portuguese immigrants from Madeira, and Cape Verde. Three immigrants in particular, Madeiran, cabinet makers Manuel Nunes, José do Espírito Santo, and, Augusto Dias, are generally credited as the first ukulele, makers. Two weeks after they disembarked from the SS Ravenscrag, in late August 1879, the Hawaiian Gazette reported that, "Madeira Islanders recently arrived here, have been delighting, the people with nightly street concerts."
