​Weissenborn Miami style 3 Soprano Ukulele

​Henry Stadlmair distributed Weissenborn Instruments between 1923-1927, & 'Miami' was one of a few 'own-brand' labels he would use. Some owners choose to remove the paper label, all have revealed the Weissenborn stamp underneath, but the cool label remains here.

Style 3 was the top of the range of soprano ukes offered by Weissenborn- there were Styles 1,2 & 3, & a Style 10 Tenor uke. Weissenborn author/historian George T. Noe estimates there were no more than 150 ukuleles manufactured across all Styles. This uke has a typical for Weissenborn 3-digit pencilled number visible through the soundhole - which appears in nearly all Weissenborn instruments- Hawaiian, Spanish, Tenor & Plectrum guitars & Mandolins in this case '3/19'..meaning a Style 3, & likely the '19' is a batch number.

All Weissenborn instruments were constructed of Hawaiian Koa wood, but the rope-binding around the soundhole, top, back, fingerboard & headstock make this uke a visual knockout! The celluloid soundhole insert is present & correct (these often have fallen out or deteriorated over the years).
