1920s Kamaka Pineapple Ukulele

Beautiful Kamaka pineapple ukulele from the early 1920s. This gorgeous piece is handcrafted from Hawaiian Koa wood top with monkeypod wood back and sides combination from the only company whose name is synonymous with ukulele, Kamaka.

Amazing original condition and the decals and inner label also remain totally intact. It is also said that this pineapple model was the very model that saved Kamaka from going bankrupt during the early stages of the company’s history.

Urban legend says that the first 50 pineapple ukuleles were the only ones to be hand-painted and it is estimated that there are only a few of these left to be in existence. This one is from a slightly later year and utilizes decals in place of the hand-painting of the earlier model.
