How do I play cuk?

• Cuk is played by picking.

• Tuning used is also almost the same as 1,2 string guitar, and 3. It’s just that in cuk string 3 (g) distem 1 octave is higher.

• Cuk has several basic rhythm patterns that fall on down beat and interlocking with cak musical instruments (what else?) 🫢 #ups #bablas

• Because there are only 3 strings, cuk only plays basic chords both major/minor. But it doesn’t rule out the possibility of playing jazz music that many options notes.

Is it the same as the ukulele?

• Different cuk! Although at a glance it looks the same, but in the body we can see clear differences. If the material is from a whole solid wood wood (solid wood) which is scraped inside until there is a resonance room. This is believed to produce more loud tones. While ukulele is usually made from plywood / laminated wood, although there are also premium quality using solid wood but the manufacturing technique remains different, namely in the bent and glued for connections of several plywood blades.

• The strings used by cuk even though they can use the Nylon guitar strings, but some traditional music players experiment using tennis racket strings because they have higher tension or maybe because they can create a percusive effect when strumming.

• Cuk using an adjustable bridge alias can be shifted for tuning fret 12 and open string and can be removed from the body when a string is not installed. This feature is similar to a hollow body guitar, while ukulele uses a bridge attached or planted like a classic guitar in general.
