1930s Deluxe Kamaka ‘Special Concert’ Ukulele

Beautiful and extremely rare Kamaka Deluxe Concert ukulele from the early 1930s. This gorgeous piece is handcrafted from solid Hawaiian koa wood from the only company whose name is synonymous with ukulele, Kamaka.

Gorgeous Hawaiian Koa wood face, back, and sides with all Koa wood neck and bridge. The soundboard and rosette are bound with a classic rope marquetry for aesthetic appeal. Original ‘Kamaka’ decal on headstock and the label are in amazing original condition. The label also indicates that the uke is a ‘Concert’ but is actually a soprano scale length.  Period specific high end friction tuners for precise tuning.

This uke plays incredibly well. It does have a faint dip below the soundhole and above the bridge but seems perfectly fine structurally. Definitely one of my absolute favorite vintage Kamakas yet! It’s a phenomenal player uke and a true historical piece as well. Crisp highs, balanced mid-range notes, and excellent lows. The projection and sustain on this uke is like no other vintage Kamaka I have ever heard. Absolutely amazing!
