Most are built of wood with metal accoutrements, although the mid-century "Dixie" brand featured banjo ukuleles made from solid metal.

Banjo ukuleles may be open-backed, or may incorporate a resonator.
The Tahitian ukulele (ʻukarere or Tahitian banjo) is a short-necked fretted lute with eight nylon strings in four doubled courses, native to Tahiti and played in other regions of Polynesia. This variant of the older Hawaiian ukulele is noted by a higher and thinner sound and an open back, [ 1 ] and is often strummed much faster.
The tone and volume of the instrument vary with size and construction. Ukuleles commonly come in four sizes: soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone. Unlike their musical cousin, the six-stringed guitar, ukuleles generally employ four strings, [1] [2] [3], made of nylon and tuned to GCEA. They also have fewer frets—16 to 22, depending on the size.

English: A chord chart for beginner ukulele players that demonstrates the correct fingerings to play the 36 basic chords.
