LEXIS


bend
radial vibrato

Bending on the ukulele increases the pitch of the picked string by a half or full tone as the picking finger of the fret hand moves the string up. The result is a radial vibrato.

The reversal of this technique – a string is first moved up, then played and returned to the normal position – is called pre-bend.
