Remo ‘Talina’ Vintage banjo ukulele. Plays wonderfully. Not quite certain of the time period but it’s at least 20 plus years old, if not older, judging from the position markers and the overall appearance of the build. This Remo banjo ukulele plays wonderfully and has a classic banjo sound with, of course, a uke tuning. Just a fun novelty piece with a vintage sound. Price: SOLD

In full swing of the ukulele boom, the 1920s offered much to ukulele enthusiasts across the world. One such example was the development of the teardrop shaped ukulele. Although this one is not labeled and is a bit of a rough build it appears to be handcrafted in the USA around the 1920s-30s. A shallow body almost ‘tiny’ sound with the unique shape and size of this instrument. Overall the instrument remains in rough refinished condition given the nearly ninety years of existence since it was built. Price: SOLD
