Good morning all. I haven't posted here in a while, but I picked up two antique ukes yesterday at Guitar Center, of all places, and thought I'd share them with you.
First up is a 1920's/1930's Supertone soprano, made by Harmony of Chicago. This uke is actually in good condition. The breaks and separations are all clean and when pressed together, are almost unnoticeable. No wood is missing, and it's actually in rather good condition. The Supertone and Quality labels are both intact as well as the tuning machines are still in existence, and appear to be the original ones (judging by the other two 1930 Harmony ukes I own with similar tuners).
I will be repairing this uke, using nothing but hot hide glue. Out of the two, this one might be my keeper.
