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

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 by S.S Stewart based in New York, N.Y. Here is a fine example of the historical ‘teardrop’ ukulele handcrafted with an all mahogany wood face, back, and sides with a rosewood fingerboard. The exaggerated lower bout adds a nice low but mellow tone to the instrument. Overall the instrument remains in wonderful condition given the nearly ninety years of existence since it was built.
