~1920 Weissenborn Concert Ukulele - 1920s Natural Koa
No sales tax for customers outside California.
An incredibly rare piece for the ukulele collector. It is said that about 150 Weissenborn ukes were made.
The larger concert size is always a good find in vintage ukuleles, and one with no cracks is even better.
One tuner is different from the others. I would say three are original but it is too hard to find other examples to compare to. Other than the changed tuner there seems to be no repairs or changes to the instrument.
Included is a very old violin case to keep the uke safe.
