Since these songs were featured in the feature film "Waikiki Wedding", this short subject must also have been made by Paramount Studios.
That finale - with Eddie playing frantically against the orchestration of "Aloha Oe", followed by him stealing the hula skirt (!?), etc. is so darn weird I'm not sure what to think.
So many great banjo players over the years with so much talent and so many different styles. Just want to say what a pleasure it has been listening to all of them...

I think it is called an octachorda.

Does anyone recognize that instrument he plays at 6:50? It looks like a 6 string octave mandola.
Is it possibly some make of guitar I'm not familiar with?
