Ukulele

The UT1 is a 1-style mahogany tenor ukulele. Built with the same quality construction as our higher end models, the satin finish UT1 is undoubtedly one of the finest professional tenor ukes available in its price range. With solid mahogany top, back and side wood, its visual beauty rivals its sonic complexity.

This extremely fine, beautifully made instrument has a Honduran mahogany body and neck with a satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish, East Indian rosewood fretboard and veneer, traditional single-point headstock and geared tuning pegs.  It also sounds absolutely amazing.

The Martin List Price is $499

one that decidedly underclass Even Smaller Gray Riding Hood (a cousin of the economically privileged one) took with her on her own walks through the woods to bring victuals to her grandma.  It has no serial number (it may have once had a number on the brace that underlies the end of the fingerboard but if so somebody has tried to obliterate it with marker and it is extremely difficult to read).  Fear not, we have assigned it #ISI-2020 just like Ms. Riding Hood’s vision.

This professional quality uke measures 9” in body width at the lower bout and it has a body length of 12” which makes it a true tenor.  Its scale length is 17 2/16”.    It has the old style violin style straight-through tuners and yet it also displays the “C F Martin & Co., Est. 1833” headstock decal logo and so our best guess is that this was made in 1930 – a transition period.  

This is a very attractive mandolin-banjo, and, we have to say, rather unusual. This instrument has a very playable neck - and it is quite loud.  Finding a resonator back, Tubaphone-tone-ring equipped Professional quality (it’s gotta be, since that’s what it’s called) mandolin-banjo is not something that happens every day around here.   Mandolin-banjo players arise – your ride is here!

Prewar ukulele-banjos are becoming harder to find nowadays.  This playable 4-string tiny instrument with 16 brackets, nuts and shoes has a period or original skin head, an old bridge with ebony "no tip" section, the tailpiece is a newer "Grover Patent."  This banjo has its original skin head which gives it a very traditional woody old time sound. THIS WAS $1025 BUT IS NOW ON SALE!

Combining quality uke craftsmanship with a banjo body, the Banjolele achieves more volume while keeping that distinctive uke sound. The open back model is an affordable alternative for uke players desiring great projection, easily accessibility and, of course, the banjo-uke tone for which there is no substitute.

There are few ukes that are better and more original sounding than a Kamaka 6-string HF-36 tenor.  Y'see, two of the four strings are doubled, an octave apart, like a 12-string guitar.  This gives the instrument tremendous volume and projection power.   It also sets it apart from the sound of all other ukuleles you will ever hear.  For this reason alone it is something you should seriously consider.
