  • In the 1950s and '60s, Arthur Godfrey was one of the most popular figures on TV -- so much so that he singlehandedly powered the market for ukuleles. Godfrey's personal uke was specially made for him by the Vega company. It was an oversized baritone model ((12 1/8" wide, 21" scale) with classical guitar-style fan bracing under the top.

  • Thats a Baritone but its got nylon strings!

    Chords

  • @kavadale Well, if you can't google them and come up with anything I have no idea. I just watched him do a turn on a movie called "the glass bottom boat" and thought he was definitely better than I thought he would be. His instrument is more like a tenor guitar than the kind of uke I picttured and he definitely knew a few jazz chords.

  • where might i find the chords/tabs?

  • lovely (:
