Ukulele Instruction Manuals – from Former Times…
We’re headed down memory lane at this point. When I lived in Arlington, VA and was an Associate Program Director for Marine Chemistry at the National Science Foundation (1989-1991) I had time and access to the Library of Congress. Wondering what could be there with regard to ukulele literature, I was stunned to have the computer bring up the following list of ukulele instruction manuals… So O.K. you ukulele memorabilia enthusiasts, here’s at least a pretty good checklist for you to compare with your collection. Any that you have that aren’t on the list, please let me know and I’ll add them in at the earliest possible opportunity. That said, our first contributor is Todd Novak with three new titles– Thanks Todd! Our next contributor has been Dana Richards with another dozen titles — great job Dana! Harris Ruben has also contributed a wonderful piece on his late father, Louis Ruben. Wonderful job, Harris. OK, how about the rest of your folks?
The listing below generally gives: Author, (Date), “Title”, Publisher, City, State, Number of pages and [Library of Congress Call Number; Library of Congress Accession or File Number, [if available]. Some which are in my personal collection are marked “DCH Collection”.

The following additional information about Louis Ruben was graciously provided by his son, Harris. I think that this is wonderful stuff and if anyone else knows more about any of the individual authors in this listing and would care to contribute, I’d be happy to put the information in the listing — Kawika—
Louis Ruben was born in Feb 2, 1904, and died of a cerebral hemorrhage in the Brill Building in New York City in January 1954. He taught music in Bayonne, NJ and was Director of Instrumental Music in the Bayonne Public School system. He was a student of Joseph Schillinger, and was a teacher ofthe Shillinger Music System.
He wrote a successful correspondence course for the piano and sold it under the name Dean Ross Piano Studios. The backbone of this course was his patented invention, the Dean Ross Automatic Chord Player (the actual name escapes me at the moment), a multicolored chipboard device that fit over the keys of the piano, and guided one’s fingers to the correct triad in one inversion or another. This enabled a beginner to pick out a melody and play chords in less than a half hour.
Expanding the idea to the ukulele, which was immensly popular at the time because of Arthur Godfrey’s early TV show, he invented the device that was marketed as the “Arthur Godfrey Uke Player” but could not patent it because of prior patents. The uke player was manufactured by Emenee Industries in Long Island, and was often sold with the Islander plastic ukelele, which was also manufactured by Emenee. The uke player was immensely popular for a year or so —Harris Ruben—
