Well, to celebrate our 75th addition, I decided to post some photos of the Ukulele Cowboy Society's Ukulele Collection in our rehearsal room. I'll try to add some description of the photos:
This is a shot of some of the Harmony ukuleles. a fifties Baritone is to the left. Right next to it, is a circa 1930's Johnny Marvin Airplane Bridge Tenor. This is the Mahogany model not the "Prince of Wales" Koa. A very nice Harmony Tenor hangs next to that followed by two Roy Smeck Sopranos. The obscured back row holds a Mahalo Les Paul and an Oscar Schmidt Concert. You can also see a Gretsch American Soprano hanging towards the back.
This is the "Banjo Uke" wall. There's a great Gibson UB-1 right in the middle. That blue Gretsch Camp in the corner is my wife's. She got it for Christmas a coupe of years ago. That's a Lanikai Tenor Koa right in the middle. Next to that is fifties Favilla B-2 and a TV Pal Plastic Baritone. In the lower right corner is a nice example of a Vega Arthur Godfrey Baritone.
There are some nice examples in this shot. The second uke in on the lower left is a Sunburst Arthur Godfrey Solo-Lute. It's a great uke for jazz. Next to that is a Kamaka Gold Label Soprano. Almost directly above that is Yasuma Baritone in great condition. Can't afford a Martin so the Yasuma fits the bill! I really like the two Kala Archtops directly to the left of the Yasuma. I'm trying to find a Natural Mahogany Archtop so I can have the whole set. On the end, closest to the camera is a mid-sixties Harmony Mandolin. Directly next to that is a recently restored Biltmore Short-Scale Baritone. Baritone Body with a Concert Neck. Very weird but fun to play...
This is the Harmony Soprano Wall. The green palm tree was a recent addition. Directly above is my wife's Cowboy Tenor Guitar which is more decorative than playable. On the end is a great example of a Regal Lap Steel. The whole thing is Mother of Toilet Seat. It sounds and plays great.
