This is a 1940’s Harmony Concert Uke. It is a different from the 50’s-60’s era Harmony concerts you generally find. It is made from nicely figured mahogany. It has a “mother of toilet seat” headstock and b-w-b-w binding around the soundhole. The fingerboard is rosewood. It has a slightly arched back which aids in the volume and richness of the sound. There are no cracks, but some light wear and scratches.

This was a fairly recent acquisition which had some problems and needed some work. I had a top luthier replace the tuners and make a new bridge and a bone saddle and nut. This was beautifully done. (You can contact me for details) Now the action, tone and playability is super. The sound is crisp and clear with great volume and lots of punch. It is a light and resonant instrument. It is currently strung with Aquilas.

I don’t really need a concert size at the moment, so I will part with this great instrument. Selling price covers the amount I have put into it. $250 or make me a good offer. Email me for pics. clarnut-at-yahoo.com (fix email address to send)
