Description
Enjoy this vintage koa Akai-style soprano ukulele! This is a beautiful, rare ukulele likely from the early 1920s in good condition. Laid out in soprano dimensions, it measures approximately 9 1/4" long and its base has a 6" width. It has the original "Aloha Hawaii" decal on headstock with "Made in Hawaii - Tabu, Akai" wood branding in the soundhole. This was typically done by earlier builders to distinguish the instruments were actually made in Hawaii from those that were brought in to Hawaii from the continental USA and sold at local music stores. It icomes with its own case, which is in need of repair. Any player would enjoy strumming this beauty with its bright rich loud sound.
