Even though this model was at the bottom of the company's line, it still cost a whopping $25, which in 1930 was more than even most fancy wooden ukes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe multi-color \"Polychrome\" enamel finish is overlaid with a stenciled Hawaiian sunset on the back. The steel body is the new smaller size introduced by National around late 1930, making this instrument one of the earliest in this style. The square-cut peghead has the National logo with \"Triolian\" banner in shield, friction tuners with celluloid buttons, and bound painted fingerboard with pearl dot inlay. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are not many things in this world with a higher \"cool quotient\" than an original National Ukulele, and this is a particularly nice one.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 22 3\/16 in. (56.4 cm.), 7 in. (17.8 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 2 1\/4 in. (5.7 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 13 3\/4 in. (349 mm.). Width of nut is 1 5\/16 in.
