Updated 12/02/2002. Todd's been focusing
on his new band The Cowlicks lately,
but uke fever is still running high!
Very
Old Birch Soprano Ukulele with Music Notes on fingerboard $115
- This is a very early uke. It has paper note description on the entire fingerboard
except where it has been worn away by being played. It has the original birch
friction pegs and the instrument is excellent condition, besides the paper
wear on the fingerboard. Plays very well and has a fantastic tone.
Airline
Soprano Uke $185 SOLD
- Gorgeous Airline soprano uke with flamed mahogany construction and original
gumby-style tuners. This uke is near mint! A great player and example of Silvertone-related
50's ukuleles.
Aloha
Royal Hawaiian Soprano Uke $225 SOLD
- This is a stunning vintage Hawaiian Aloha mahogany soprano uke. It is in
excellent condition with only a little shrinkage from age in the back-to-body
seams. It has a classic Hawaiian coat-of-arms on the headstock, beautiful
tuning pegs. Sounds and plays beautifully.
Harmony
Soprano Uke $50 SALE!
- This old Harmony uke has white painted binding, a sunburst finish, and the
old green Harmony headstock logo. Three of the white pearloid tuners are original,
with one that is replaced, but very close. It has a plastic fingerboard
and is great for camping trips! There are a few repaired cracks but this uke
is very sound.

Mauna
Loa Plastic Soprano Uke $80 SOLD

tuners, and is excellent condition. A fine example of the Arthur Godfrey era
of plastic Maccaferri-style instruments.
Laminated Mahogany Soprano Uke
$40 SOLD
This ukulele is a great bargain! Stays in tune, sounds great, & fun
to play. What more could you ask for?
Zim
Gar Delux Baritone Uke $125 SOLD
- This baritone uke has been completely rebuilt. When I found this instrument
it was in need of some TLC. I decided to give it another life. In general,
I used this instrument to teach myself how to do pearl inlay and to practice
my french polishing and repair techniques. Although this was my first restoration,
and only a practice instrument, it turned out very well and it's time it left
the nest. I repaired the cracks, inlaid mother-of-pearl dots on the fingerboard,
and inlaid m.o.p. on the headstock as well. I also did a refret job, made
a new maple gondola-shaped bridge, and put a string retainer above the nut
to correct the lack of angle on the headstock. Finally, I gave it a complete
french polish. I also added top-of-the-line silver/nickel tuning pegs. The
wood is some kind of Asian mahogany. In the photos it may appear to be koa,
but it is not. The label on the inside reads "Zim Gar Delux Uklele, Bklyn,
NY."

and bridge. Beautiful curly maple and rosewood ribs. Pretty pearl inlay on
headstock and pickguard. (#44 printed on inside label)
