The Tahitian ukulele
The Tahitian ukulele (ʻukarere or Tahitian banjo) is a short-necked fretted lute with eight nylon strings in four doubled courses, native to Tahiti and played in other regions of Polynesia. This variant of the older Hawaiian ukulele is noted by a higher and thinner sound and an open back,[1] and is often strummed much faster.
The two middle courses are tuned an octave higher than they would be on a normal ukulele, and fishing line is used for the strings.
