He played a variety of different types of Ukulele and is famous for his banjolele, though he used a standard ukulele in a number of movies.
Israel Kamakawiwoole's main ukulele was a Martin Tenor.
It is a musical instrument that will play all notes.
He plays a variety of ukuleles. He normally plays an ovation ukulele. I have also seen pictures of him with a Fender ukulele.
he has a pink herald ukulele i think :)
An ukulele is a small four-stringed instrument, similar to a guitar. The ukulele is popular in Hawaii. The word 'ukulele' itself is Hawaiian. It translates to 'jumping flea'. If you have an opportunity to watch a band play in Hawaii, watch for the mini-guitar that is the ukulele! Whenever you see someone dancing the Hula, there will be a ukulele playing the music they are swaying to. You can also see the ukulele in some modern music, such as Train's rendition of "Hey, Soul Sister" or "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz. The ukulele is considerably easier to play than the guitar, because it has only four strings. Also, the ukulele has softer strings that did not cut into the fingertips, the way guitar strings do. Having these different strings gives the ukulele a completely different sound than the guitar. While the guitar has a metallic sound, the ukulele sounds warmer and is more suitable for the island music it plays. If you read guitar music, you will have no problem reading the music for a ukulele. It looks just like the music for a guitar, except it is written with the four dots instead of the six! Chords are instantly recognizable. I recommend learning the ukulele if you are looking for an easy way to play and learn the guitar. The uke is interchangeable with the guitar, but is far easier than the guitar! The instrument is cheaper to buy, too.
He has a range of ukes but in the 'big' tour he has a soprano ukulele.

No, it's not a country. The ukulele is a small guitar type of instrument.
None of the online sources even indicate that John Mayer plays the ukulele. They list guitar, mandolin and piano. It wouldn't be hard for him to play a ukulele, particularly a Baritone Ukulele.
Not really. The standard ukulele tuning is very different then a guitar. The bass ukulele could be tuned from a bass guitar.
This length varies depending on what type of ukulele but most are from 21-30 inches.
It varies depending on the type of ukulele. The Tenor has a wider range than a concert or a soprano.
The picture on his web site shows a ukulele that does not have a logo on the head. It doesn't have a recognizable shape that might identify it. It may very well be a custom made ukulele. I think it is a tenor size, but it could be a concert size.
