Drawing on a wealth of previously untapped sources, Jim Tranquada and John King tell the surprising story of how an obscure four-string folk guitar from Portugal became the national instrument of Hawai'i, of its subsequent rise and fall from international cultural phenomenon to 'the Dangerfield of instruments', and of the resurgence in popularity (and respect) it is currently enjoying among musicians from Thailand to Finland.
