I don't think, it could be said, the Shulberry was a Ukulele. Not only that a Ukulele usualy has four strings, the Shulberry has no frets at all. Which is because it was used only to play one single open chord in which it was tuned (take a look). Thus it could perform a percussion effect when strumming the strings hard with one hand and immediately stopping them with the other. At least as long as the key did fit the open tuning. I don't think, a Ukulele without frets would be very useful, because of the short scale it would be nearly impossible to grab a propper chord. You only could play single note melodies which wouldn't be very satisfying because of the short sustain of the Ukulele's single notes on the one hand and the low tension of the strings, which makes it hard to compensate the short sustain with a right hand's tremolo like the one used on a mandolin. Therefore the Shulberry, I think, is a percussioninstrument in the shape of a Ukulele. As a Ukulele it would be like a bike beeing constructed without wheels.

Can anybody confirm that the infobox pic of the Yale concert does indeed date from 2006? He would have been almost 60 then, and he doesn't look it, though it's possible. --Ef80 (talk) 16:28, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
