So, I almost NEVER hear any love on the web for vintage Regal ukuleles. I have been looking for a nice one for some time, and finally found it. This is an early bugger, with the green label on the headstock. A much nicer instrument as compared to their millions of mass produced plywood ukuleles.
My guess is that it was built in the earlier part of the 1930's, but I really don't know. It is solid mahogany and plays beautifully. The body is deep, which gives it a fuller sound as compared to the punch of my other vintage sopranos. It is loud, with a balanced voice, and great sustain. I've hardly had a chance to play it since I got it last night. I cleaned it, refurbished the tuners, and put on new strings.
The photo doesn't do it justice, this is a pretty uke when you see it is person. I'm strange....if everyone wants a Martin, I want a Regal!
