Vintage 1930s Kumalae hawaii Mahogany Ukulele

A vintage 1930s Kumalae mahogany ukulele is a rare and historically significant find, as the vast majority of original Jonah Kumalae ukuleles were crafted from Hawaiian Koa wood. During the Great Depression era of the 1930s, the Jonah Kumalae Company diversified its production to stay afloat, introducing alternative woods like mahogany and manufacturing instruments for major mainland mail-order catalogs and brands.
