hi everyone.
first things first.. new member, first time post so thanks for having me!
I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on this?
I'm primarily keyboards so no idea at all on this. It seems 'old', has a plastic fingerboard, is branded 'Howard' and has 'JAPAN' carved in the back of the headstock.
What I'd really like to know is roughly the age, who 'Howard' were and if its worth anything (my three year old daughter has been eying it up so thought I aught to check!). If its a 'toy' she can have it, if its a reasonable instrument.. ahem.. its mine. It certainly sounds okay to me giving it a quick strum.
Have tried google but could only get so far. Seems the brand may may start with a guitar maker named Eugene Howard, thereafter becoming a Wurlitzer sub-brand, and there seems to be evidence that at least some of these were made in Japan. But I could well have joined all the wrong dots.
Any one have one/seen one? Anyone know anything about it/ Howard ukes they could share with me?
thanks all!
