Extremely rare 1920s David Mahelona ‘violin’ soprano ukulele in beautifully restored condition. A true world class collectible ukulele nearly 100 years in age. To my knowledge, there are only a few of these pieces in existence and one of two known in the islands. The other known piece resides at the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum on the island of Oahu.
Gorgeous Hawaiian koa wood face, back, sides, and bridge. Hand-cut abalone shell inlay on soundboard, fretboard, and headstock with beautiful rope marquetry for aesthetic appeal.
A very beautiful historical and collectible ukulele for the serious uke enthusiast. #240071
Price: Not for sale.
