New! Kala KA-MB: The So. Calif. Ukulele Festival is quickly approaching, so being the good vendors that we are, we ordered a bunch of these beautiful baritones in highly figured Mango with the high gloss finish. The only problem is that people keep buying them, and there is a possibility that come festival time, we may have the "empty cart syndrome".

ca. 1950s Macaferri "T.V. Pal" Soprano: (exc) Mario Macaferri, famous in musical instrument circles as the genius behind the Selmer guitars, such as the one played by Django Reinhardt, emigrated to the U.S. where he set up a plastics manufacturing company, producing, among other things, the first plastic clothes pins. He soon found that he missed the world oof stringed instruments and launched a division that made guitars and ukuleles out of plastic. The main difference between his work and others was that his sounded good! The T.V. Pal ukes came in a variety of "bowling ball" swirl finishes. This pristine example is as collectable as they come. With newer chipboard case. $150 Stock#UUB
1929 Martin Style O Soprano: Compared to all other ukuleles, the Martin all Mahogany soprano consistently comes out on top in the quest for superb tone. This nicely maintained almost 80 year old example is living proof of the quality of Martin. With chipboard case. $700 Stock#UUB28742 photo
1960s Martin Style O Soprano (VG) A sweet, sweet sounding Martin 'plain jane' ukulele that's now 40 years old or so. We say "or so" because Martin ukes are difficult to date since the majority of them have no serial numbers. But the tuning pegs are definitely original and definitely '60s. If you have yet to experience the joyous sound of an all mahogany Martin uke such as this one, be sure you go and hear Janet Klein, the ukulele chanteuse when she gives a concert in your area. Janet can show you just how wonderful a Martin uke such as this one can sound. Or you can get this little sweetheart for yourself and play along with her record. With chipboard case $600 Stock#UUB26169* photo
1951 Martin Style 0 Soprano (exc-) We have made a discovery, and we're sure we're not the first to do so: The Martin all mahogany ukes are superior sounding to just about any other vintage uke you will find. C.F. stumbled a bit with the very first generation, which thankfully did not last very long. The ukulele was redesigned and Martin began to produce the fine sounding versions that we now find. This one? As good a sounding instrument as you will ever hear. With bag $700Stock#UUB26641 photo
Just In! 1960’s Martin Model 51 Baritone (Exc) All mahogany construction and a 20 1/8” scale give this big uke that warm, silky smooth tone that’s sooo... perfect for chord melody style playing.

New! Martin 5K Soprano The 1930’s vintage 5K is one of the rarest and most desirable ukes ever made. This special edition reissue from Martin is a worthy successor to the original.

It has exquisite mother of pearl and abalone inlays in it’s fingerboard and peghead that are reminiscent of the designs used by Martin on their guitars. This little jewel has a very sweet voice and reminds us once again that Martin builds some of the finest stringed instruments in the world. With hard case Stock# NUB25960 photo

New! Zambra Concert Uke. Talk about your "world turned upside down"! When Portuguese sailors landed in Hawaii centuries ago, they brought with them the traditional Portuguese instrument, the Cavaquinho. This served as the basis for the popular ukulele. An instrument designed in Portugal and built in Hawaii. The Zambra brand of instruments are the flip side of the first ukuleles, designed in Hawaii and built in Portugal!

New! Zambra 8 string Uke What does one call a friend who plays a Hawaiian style ukulele made in Portugal ? Bruddah or irmao? Doesn't matter, music is the universal language! This black Acacia double strung uke has no problem being heard in an ensemble of jumping fleas. It's very likely that this is the 12 string guitar version of the ukulele, no doubt inspired by that great Portuguese player Rogero McGuinnes (pronounced ma-gweenezh in Portugal).
