After weeks of campaigning and preparations, just over 6300 players gathered at a Papeete stadium for the performance.
This was short of the target of 10,000, and the record held by Hong Kong, where more than 8000 people took part.
Three years ago, 4750 participants jointly played at the ukulele festival in Tahiti to make it into Guinness Book of Records.
The song Te ra mai te tiare had been chosen for the latest challenge.
