Each person does it a bit differently, but in general the Ukulele is held high on the chest with the right arm being almost parallel to the ukulele and the left hand on the frets at almost a right angle.

What does the shout Ukulele ali kitchy comba mean?

Not sure due to the translation issue that may be in play here: Kitsch Combo is a group that has produced some recordings. They play jazz and Latin music. I can't tell if they use an ukulele in their music or not.

Would a tuba and ukulele duet sound good?

It would depend entirely on the composition. The biggest danger is that the trumpet is going to overwhelm the clarinet and both of them are going to over power the ukulele. You would have to amplify the ukulele, but they are all musical instruments and they can be blended. It won't be easy, but it can be done.

What kind of ukulele would fit best to most songs?

Pretty much any ukulele can be used to play jazz. The tuning and string selection can vary to meet the needs of the music you are playing. Many like the reverberating ukulele for jazz and some really prefer the banjolele for the jazz sounds. Some like the ones with the S shaped sound holes rather than the single round hole in the middle. Lyle Ritz, one of the top Jazz players on the ukulele, uses a Ko'olau Tenor Ukulele.
