Which is grammatically correct and why - 'a ukulele' or 'an ukulele'?

The 'a' versus 'an' rule is based on the sound the word starts with. In this case the correct answer depends entirely on how you pronounce the word.
If you use the Hawaiian pronunciation, (most Ukulele players seem to use this one) Ooo-koo-lay-lay the correct article would be 'an.' In the Hawai'ian language, the letter U gets the Ooo (rhymes with goo) . Which agrees with the "an". Of course, folks not from Hawai'i will give you strange looks.
If you use the Americanized YOU ka lay lay the correct article would be 'a.'
