hi all, I am a newbie here but have been playing Uke several years. Here is my awesome collection. View attachment 105470
You'll see my UBASS, Makala Waterman, Luna Hightide Concert size, my Makala Pineapple, the Makala Shark which started it all, my Bohemian Guitars Surf Wax electric, and my sort of identified vintage Super Tenor. The vintage one is tuned GCEA but is 29" so I've just classified it as a big tenor. As for manufacturing information best I can figure it's from about the 1950s and is either a Telleno or Bobby Henshaw Uke. It matches images of Telleno ukes perfectly, but on the headstock there is the shadow of a sticker or brand that was once on it and the shape of that shadow matches perfectly to the Bobby Henshaw shape and placement. So I am leaning towards it being that.
You've amassed quite a collection. Which one is your fave?
Thanks for the pic!
