If you play ukulele or read 'Ukulele', you’re no stranger to Daniel Ward. He’s been in these pages (and on our YouTube channel) for nearly a decade, but he’s been a four-string virtuoso for much longer, traveling the world playing, teaching, and composing, often with his partner Heidi Swedberg. Ward’s CV also includes children’s music, acoustic guitar, reimagined covers, electric jazz, flamenco, film and TV scores, string quartets, and jingles, and his ukulele albums are vibrant expressions of a master musician who is one with his instrument.

A serious musician who doesn’t take himself too seriously, and sets the bar high while keeping the instrument accessible.

As the world hurtled through archaeological discoveries, global artistic exchange, aviation milestones, Hollywood spectacles, and romanticized cultural fantasies, ukulele makers translated these influences into some of the most imaginative and visually striking instruments ever produced.
