The "Waikiki" ukuleles handled by C. Bruno
& Son, Inc., New York, have proven so popular
the past few months
that the company has
been obliged to mate-
rially increase its fac-
tory arrangements in
order to cope with the
existing demand. These
ukuleles have won the
enthusiastic praise of
well-known p l a y e r s ,
who have advised C.
Bruno & Son, Inc., that
the tone qualities of
these instruments are
beyond t h e slightest
criticism.
The "Waikiki" uku-
leles are manufactured
in Honolulu, and are
made of genuine koa

tically a new instrument, through its pleasing
tones is rapidly taking its place in the fore-
ground for entertainment purposes.
