I need to pick up another Ukulele. This will probably do it.

Nah, too common. Everybody’s got one of those. Go for something more adventurous.

Apparently one of the most collectable of all antique ukuleles. How does it sound? Here is what they say:

The sound is completely unique; quite loud even with Ukulele strings and exceptionally directional. It projects very well, at least if the horn is pointed at the listener which after all was the original intention. it is not the most convenient instrument to hold in the traditional uke playing stance but one can get used to it after a bit of practice. The Stroviols catalog depicts a seated playing position, and makes many elaborate claims for the instrument. "The ukulele with a difference" they called it, and they were not kidding!
