The Ukulele was believed to have been first made in 1880 in Hawaii. A group of Portuguese immigrants landed there in 1879 and had a Portuguese instrument called the machete with them. Several of the wood workers developed the ukulele using local materials.
A ukulele is pretty inexpensive, as little as $20 in most places and that is more than enough to get you started. There are hundreds of YouTube videos that can help you learn to string, tune and play the ukulele. Share a couple of good ukulele videos with your dad and say you want to learn to play like that! I would recommend Jake Shimabukuro as a serious musician and not a comedy routine. The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain is another good one to share. And check YouTube for videos of ukulele players doing one of your dad's favorite songs.
