Baritone Ukulele Uke & Tenor Guitar

This is a video of my push-button stringed instruments. The first is my 1920's KeyKord Baritone Uke. The second is my 1950's Eminee push-button tenor guitar.

The KeyKord's push button unit is actually a transposer. It was designed so you could play along with soprano ukes by just following the chord chart or button number printed on the sheet music. In other words, it converts the baritone tuning it's tuned to into soprano chords. Soprano ukes were all the rage in the 20's and 30's, so my guess is that this instrument was made for people that either had some sort of hand disability or were incredibly lazy.

@guitartec Dean,I have talked to you a few times already on the Kay Kraft Guitar Facebook page. I am looking to buy both the fretted and unfretted version of this axe. You remember maybe that I am also looking for several other two points also right? My Email is kerrykrishna@yahoo.ca.

@kerrykrishna Kerry, I'm not aawre of an unfretted version. Maybe it's something I've never seen before.

If you want to send me an Email address, I can send you a photoessay, as YOUTUBE will not let me post it here.
