Larrivee, 5K Shrine, Ebony Pono, Harmony Vita

Larrivee seem to have been abscent from the ukulele scene for a while but a rather cute koa Larrivee soprano has turned up on eBay. The last mention I could find was on Ukulelia about a limited run in 2004. Although it looks like they still have some in stock here. And it’s no wonder at those prices.

There’s always an imminent danger of self-bankruptcy when there’s a Lyon and Healy 5K Shrine up for sale.

An original of the much-copied Roy Smeck Vita Harmony ukulele.

A new Pono with an ebony body. I’m not too keen on that look myself.

Ukulele pin-up Ann Sheridan. Hubba, hubba. Swit-swoo. And so forth.

    todd: Agreed. It’s no wonder they’re copied so often.
