Old Hawaiian Ukulele Pics

Some time ago, I had quite a number of Hawaiian ukuleles from the teens, ’20’s and ’30s. I took the opportunity to photograph them along with others borrowed from friends. These are the ukuleles that were used to make the database for identifying those instruments of mine and others where the label on the inside was missing. Nothing fancy here, just the pics and the name of the maker of each instrument (which is below each instrument).
