Ukulele: Play Real Uke Sound

Play a real ukulele anywhere. Every note in this app was recorded one by one from a physical acoustic ukulele, so what you hear is a real instrument and not a synthesized tone. Practice, learn the fretboard, pick out melodies, strum along with a song, or catch an idea the moment it arrives. Beginner, student, teacher, songwriter or experienced player — this virtual uke is built for practice, music education and everyday playing.

A REAL UKULELE ON YOUR SCREEN

• 80 authentic notes, professionally recorded from a real acoustic ukulele

• 4 strings and 19 frets, open strings included

• Realistic fret proportions: the frets narrow toward the headstock exactly as on a physical uke, so the finger positions you learn carry over

• Natural acoustics — real decay, body resonance and note-to-note variation

REAL SOUND, REAL RESPONSE

• Low-latency audio engine — the sound stays right under your finger

• Touch velocity: press softly or firmly and the note answers

• Adjustable sustain, from short muted plucks to a long open ring

• Multi-touch, so you can hold notes and pick across the strings

• The strings vibrate on screen like real ones — widest over the body, calming down toward the headstock

• Every note you touch lights up, so you always see what you played

PLAY IT NATURALLY

• Landscape layout that feels like holding a real uke in both hands

• Tap single notes on the frets, or strum across the strings over the sound hole

• Slide along the whole neck with the arrow buttons or the fretboard slider

• The fretboard stays put while you play — a stray finger never drags it out of place

BUILT-IN MUSIC STUDIO

• Metronome from 40 to 240 BPM to keep your timing steady

• 5-band equalizer with Pop, Rock, Jazz, Classical and Flat presets

• Two real-time visualizers that move with what you play

• Volume control and haptic feedback you can switch off

RECORD, KEEP AND SHARE

• Record your playing through the device microphone

• Name your takes, mark favorites, listen back and delete what you don't need

• Share a recording with friends, family or your teacher

• Six relaxing tracks are included to play along with

• Add audio files from your own device — with search, favorites, repeat one and shuffle

LEARN THE UKULELE FASTER

• Find your way around the fretboard before buying a physical instrument

• Work on picking, strumming, scales and melodies

• Run the metronome slowly and play one note per click to build steady time

• Practice quietly with headphones, at any hour

MAKE IT YOURS

• Interface available in 76 languages

PLAY ANYTIME, WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT

• The instrument and all of its tools work without an internet connection

• Free to download and supported by ads; details are in the in-app Privacy Policy

GOOD FOR

The ukulele — the little four-string instrument from Hawaii, often called the small Hawaiian guitar — is one of the friendliest instruments to start with. If you enjoy guitar, uke or any small string instrument, you will feel at home here.

Whether you are practicing for a lesson, learning your first melody, playing along with a track or writing something new, this app puts a realistic ukulele in your pocket.
