Tenor 4-string ukulele
The ukulele is a unique instrument. Though it is very popular in Hawaii, the ukulele actually originated in Portugal. It was introduced to Hawaiians by the Portuguese when they migrated to Hawaii. Since then, the ukulele has undergone many changes in wood, color and sound.The Dm7 or D minor 7 chord is most commonly played in the key of Dm. When you're playing in the key of Dm, the Dm7 will normally follow the Dm chord. Seventh chords are used to bring a higher pitch to the chord.
