Old ukulele pics

Post by hilo_kawika » Sun Nov 09, 2008 3:22 am

At one time, when I had a real job back in the 1980's, I had a collection of nearly 300 vintage ukuleles. :shock: All gone to others now.

Yes, it was a sickness. In any case I took pictures of many of my and my friends old Hawaiian ukuleles. For those of you interested in creating a vintage look to your soprano or concert sized ukuleles, here's a link to several dozen different manufacturers from the 1910 - 1930 time period:
