Connected to the Hawaii All-Collectors Show this weekend at the Blaisdell Exhibition Hall was the Ukulele Guild of Hawaii’s Ukulele Exhibition.
Since it was free, I decided to wander inside and take a gander at the beautiful hand-crafted “jumping flea” instruments they had on display.
The guild was showing a rare collection of vintage ukes from the early 1900s created with loving care by pioneer luthiers (makers of stringed instruments) of Hawaii.
Just catching a glimpse of the gorgeous instruments was enough to entice me to take a detour from my monkey safari. They rubber stamped the back of my hand so I could come back into the All-Collectors Show after I’d seen the ukuleles.
What do you think? Beautiful, huh?

Now, THAT was an enjoyable detour.
Very cool! I like the painted detail on the one third from the top.
