A wonderful Sonny D `Jumbo` bell-shaped Baritone ukulele in refinished condition. This uke has a 19 inch scale and is certainly one of the early years for Sonny D ukuleles. The vintage label inside in orangeish-red is one of the most desired eras of Sonny D ukuleles out there and the tones are truly wonderful.
Handcrafted on the island of Oahu out of Hawaiian Koa wood on top, back and ides with a single top black celluloid binding and simple rosette. The lower bout is `jumbo` and larger than the typical baritone body used by most builders. The deep lower bout truly accentuates the sustain and provides for a full range of tones as well. A rare find and a great build by one of Hawaii’s seasoned builders.
There are numerous nicks and dings on the instrument and a few repairs but they are done well and remain stable. In spite of the repairs this is one heck of a players uke and sounds absolutely beautiful. Very rich and warm in tones with excellent projection and sustain.
