Ukuleles



Gibson UB1 c.1920's


Gibson UKE-1 circa 1930

Gibson uke of this period has 17 frets on the fingerboard.


Recording King Tenor Ukulele


Recording King instruments were sold by Montgomery Wards.
Most of these instruments were made by Gibson in the late '30s to '40s.


This ukulele has no brand or manufacturer's name except for
the "Recording King" stamp inside the sound hole.


A tenor uke is larger than a soprano(or standard) uke
although it is tuned at the same pitch as a soprano.
Compare the size with the period Martin 2K model.


FYI, here's the back of the pegheads of the above ukes.
