I agree, seems like a no brainier! I would have thought it had been done years ago.Surprised this hasn't happened sooner.

Lawmakers here are considering a bill that would dub the ukulele the official state instrument, a designation that seems in some ways like a formal ceremony for a common-law marriage.
What other instrument would be in the running to be considered as Hawai'i's state instrument? the ipu?
I imagine that most states don't have an official state instrument. Ukulele has probably been the unofficial state instrument since Hawaii became a state. As Ukejenny said, this is appears to be making official what everyone already assumed anyway.
