Understand the ukulele
Learning to play an instrument is a rewarding and enriching creative venture. Getting through those early lessons, however, can feel frustrating.
The soprano-sized Populele upgrades your ukulele lessons by pairing this smart uke with a phone or tablet to guide you on your musical journey. The instrument itself teaches you fingerings using lights on the fretboard while the app gamifies strumming patterns to make practice fun.
Wood workin’
Plenty of learning tools and smart devices shave off quality to cut costs, but the Populele is a good-looking, good-sounding ukulele made to last. While it does feature electronics to pair with your smartphone, the body of the Populele is made from real spruce wood with a maple wood neck. The result is a beautiful instrument you’ll keep playing after your last lesson.

Learn by light
This ukulele makes learning fun and easy thanks to its ability to show you the fingerings you need to make directly on the fretboard.
Populele's maple neck is studded with 72 individual LEDs that can independently light up, showing you exactly how to place your fingers. This accelerates your lessons and turns you into a natural musician in less time and with less frustration than just looking at printed off charts.
