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.

It's a real ukulele with a maple neck and spruce body!

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.

Learning is easy thanks to LED fret markers.

Awesome app

The free-to-use Populele app, available for both Android and iOS devices, unlocks the true potential of your Populele.

Start by using the tuner to get your ukulele to sing just the right notes. Feel free to browse through the lessons at a pace that works for you.

Once you've mastered the basics, you get to turn your practice into a game. And while you're learning how to play, you might as well learn the songs you'll want to play thanks to an ever-expanding library of ukulele standards and pop hits arranged for the ukulele.

Use the app to tune, learn the basics, play games, and discover new songs.

Lovely lute

Populele is an instrument you're sure to cherish long after you've mastered the basics thanks to its stunning good looks and quality wood finish. And since the Bluetooth-enabled technology is rechargeable via USB, you'll never need to swap out batteries before you start a strumming session.

USB-charging Populele is the ultimate uke.
