Premier modèle d’ukulélé produit par Gibson. Très bon état.

« Entre les mains des artisans Gibson, l’ukulélé est devenu un instrument de puissance et de précision, tout en conservant la véritable saveur hawaïenne de son timbre. C’est comme jouer sur du velours — si doux, si facile à maîtriser… »
— Catalogue Gibson, 1929

Late 1920s Gibson Soprano Ukulele “Style Uke-1”. All-mahogany construction with rosewood fingerboard, nickel silver frets, pearl position markers, and “The Gibson” script logo on the headstock.
Gibson’s first ukulele model. Very good condition.
“In the hands of Gibson craftsmen the ukulele has been developed into an instrument of power and accuracy, yet retaining the true Hawaiian flavour of tone. It is like playing on velvet—so smooth, so easily mastered…”
— 1929 Gibson Product Catalogue
