<human>: Can you tell me a little bit about the history of the ukulele?
<bot>: The ukulele is a small, four-stringed musical instrument that was developed in Hawaii. It was originally made from wood and had only four strings, but it has since evolved into a variety of different designs and sizes. The ukulele has been around for centuries and has been used in many different cultures around the world. In the late 1800s, the Hawaiian music industry began to popularize the instrument and it became an important part of Hawaiian culture. Today, the ukulele is still widely played and enjoyed by people all over the world.
