    Uklele Orchester of Great Britain

    Witness the awesomeness that results when American culture cross-fertilizes with the Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain:

    Almost as much fun as the Wellington Ukulele Orchestra (Featuring Bret McKenzie of Flight of the Conchords)

    I went to a "masters of the ukulele" concert some years ago to see National Steel guitar player Bob Brozman. I was expecting to have to tolerate the uke portion of the show to hear some hawiian guitar. Boy, was I surprised! Those guys could play anything on their ukes. Even jazz.
    Other fun orchestras are the mandolin orchestras.
