i think its called a U-King?
Heres an unusual uke.
wooden neck, but with metal pot, and brass resonator.
Arrived to me in a very poor state. I stripped the neck and re-finished.
cleaned up the metal pot, removed the rust from the hooks, fitted new hooks, vellum, tuners & bridge.
Now a very nice little instrument. good tone and decent volume, not loud or tinny.
The owner had described it to me as" my biggest challenge yet!"
These battered old ukes are becoming my speciality!
