Vintage 1920s Soprano Solid Koa Ukulele. Highly Figured in perfect condition.

Description

A delightful, sweet-sounding and mellow toned unique curly solid Koa ukulele made in Hawaii.  I bought this instrument from a sweet woman in Vermont many years ago.   She was sad to see it go, and now I understand why.  I regret that I'm not playing this as much as I'd like and hope it can go to someone who takes it out and plays it often.
This unique Kumalae style instrument that has a highly figured (curly) solid Koa body with mahogany neck/fretboard and unique headstock.  You can see the rope binding on the body front and back.  And the unique inlay along the fret board.  This ukulele was made by a highly skilled luthier.  I've loved how unique this ukulele looks and sounds compared to other vintage ukes I've played.
Vintage: 1920s.  This is a pre Martin instrument that was made in Hawaii before the exposition in 1915 of Hawaiian culture in LA that broke the Ukulele into mainland consciousness.
The condition is excellent.  The wood itself is hardly marked and there are no cracks.  1mm gap where the neck meets the body but it's been that way since I bought it, is stable, and doesn't affect the play at all.   The finish is in beautiful condition, the neck is straight, and
The wooden violin style tuners are original save for 1 that matches well.  It stays in tune remarkably well and has been stored in a case (shown and included) with a humidifier.
Playability is excellent, very light, comfortable to hold, with an easy action.
All parts are original  aside from the strings which I replaced recently.
A newer velvet lined Uke Crazy case is included, along with a passive humidifier.
Please let me know if you have questions.
