{"product_id":"harold-f-summers-soprano-ukulele-late-1930s-3786","title":"Harold F. Summers Soprano Ukulele (late 1930's)","description":"Harold F. Summers Soprano Ukulele, c. late 1930's, made in Hawaii, natural lacquer finish, koa wood body and neck, original brown soft shell case. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA nice example of a just pre-WWII Hawaiian Ukulele, with features typical of the era. The Summers Brothers (Harold and Paul) taught and sold ukulele in Hawaii in the 1920's and 30's; a number of different styles of native ukes can be found with their labels inside. This is a Hawaiian koa uke built when the influence of the Martin instruments was increasingly felt; although constructed with a traditional two-piece heel and integral fingerboard, overall it resembles the typical Martin body and neck style more than older Nunes or Kumalae instruments. This is a very good-sounding and playing ukulele; the circular orange label inside reads \"Harold L. Summers Genuine Waikiki Koa Ukulele; Made in Hawaii-Paradise\".\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 20 7\/8 in. (53 cm.), 6 1\/4 in. (15.9 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 2 1\/2 in. (6.4 cm.) in depth at side, taken at the end block. Scale length is 13 1\/2 in. (343 mm.). Width of nut is 1 1\/2 in. (38 mm.). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAppears all original. Several small repaired cracks and some finish wear, but overall very nice. Excellent Condition.","brand":"Harold F.
