UKULELE
(cassandra plays ukulele)
(tuned GCEA)
the ukulele (/juːkəˈleɪliː/ ew-kə-lay-lee, from Hawaiian: ʻukulele [ˈʔukuˈlɛlɛ] (oo-koo-leh-leh); British English: ukelele)[1] sometimes abbreviated to uke, is a member of the lute family of instruments; it generally employs four nylon or gut strings or four courses of strings.[2]
The ukulele originated in the 19th century as a Hawaiian adaptation of the Portuguese machete,[3] a small guitar-like instrument, which was introduced to Hawaii byPortuguese immigrants, many from Madeira and the Azores. It gained great popularity elsewhere in the United States during the early 20th century, and from there spread internationally.
The tone and volume of the instrument vary with size and construction. Ukuleles commonly come in four sizes: soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone.

RECORDER
in third grade, everyone is supposed to learn how to play the “recorder”…a thoroughly goofy instrument…i was never that good at it…
in third grade, we were all required to learn the recorder. i wasn’t particularly adept…i never cared much for woodwind instruments…
(i also sang soprano in the school chorus)
although i would like to incorporate the instrument into my compositions…just like the beatles did with “fool on the hill”…and there are actually virtuoso “recorder players” out there!…like aldo abreu of venezuela…

“KOTO”
The koto (箏) is a traditional japanese stringed musical instrument, similar to the Chinese guzheng. The koto is the national instrument of Japan.[1] Koto are about 180 centimetres (71 in) width, and made from kiri wood (Paulownia tomentosa). They have 13 strings that are strung over 13 movable bridges along the width of the instrument. Players can adjust the string pitches by moving these bridges before playing, and use three finger picks (on thumb, index finger, and middle finger) to pluck the strings.
the character 琴 is often used for koto, but strictly speaking, 琴 have no bridges. One of the characters for koto, 箏, is also read as sō in certain contexts. Though often called by a number of other names, these terms almost always refer to similar, but different instruments, such as the Chinese guzheng (箏) or guqin (琴, called kin in Japanese)
