Up for sale is a rare, authentic vintage Lyra Soprano Ukulele dating back to the 1920s or early 1930s. Distributed by the prominent C. Bruno & Sons company of New York, these instruments are wonderful historical examples of early mainland ukulele craftsmanship (often manufactured by iconic builders like Oscar Schmidt or Richter as stencils).

It displays beautiful, distinct grain patterns throughout the body, a classic shield-shaped headstock, a wooden bridge, and its original friction tuning pegs.
