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)

amazing! just checked out their version of Nirvana's "smells like teen spirit" and the Clash's "should I stay, or should I go." AWESOME!

Very cool videos!

Fun! They do some great stuff. Big Uke fan here. I play one myself. Here's an awesome player that some of you non musos may have not heard of:

Jake Shimabukuro

There's a LOT of great vids of Jake doing his thing on YouTube. Check him out.

That's one of my all-time favorite you tube videos.

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.
