Collecting Vintage Kou Milo Ukeleles Uke



Welcome To Rare Antiques Collectibles and Memorabilia.

Hawaii contributed slack key guitar, steel string guitar and the dimunitive ukulele to the family of musical string instruments. The ukulele catches the world’s attention because of its tone and size.


Although the first ukulele was first made in Braga, Portugal that’s why it was called barginha before it got in the hands of the natives in Hawaii by way of Portuguese migration to the Hawaiin islands in !777.


Joao Fernandes was the first ever public performance playing the ukulele. The Hawaiin Royal family at that time like it so much that, local manufacturers made its foray in mass production of the instrument.


The world was first introduced to the hawaiin music and the ukulele was in 1915 during the celebration of the completed Panama Canal. Seventeen million people experienced the whole hawaiin musical genre that it became very popular considering the world population at that time. The music and the ukulele went well with the fashion at that time too.


Carrying the ukulele while wearing straw hat, raccoon coat and striped blazer was very vogue at that time. The ukulele is light and portable, playing it, sure made everyone you around smile.

The ukulele went through a musical roller coaster. Popular one time and in the closet the next. There were many factors , the great depression in the 1920’s, rock and roll, Vietnam.


Authentic vintage kou milo ukeleles are pretty much hawaiin made, had a legend ‘tabu’ on every ukulele made at that time. Hawaii had triumphantly gained a patent on the instrument. Although the rest of the world make ukuleles but the hawaiins can proudly call it their very own.


Depending on the preference of the collectors, one thing they would consider is the manufacturer. Companies like Martin, Gibson , Lyon etc. are considered of the best quality. The most popular ones are made by C.F. Martin Company of Pa.
