JA-JKU“Kumalae Gold Award PPIE 1915” Ukulele – Hawaiian Koa Wood signed (interior) by the craftsman – In the early part of the 20th century, the ukulele had already found popularity with the people of the Hawaiian Islands. On the mainland, however, the ukulele was only just starting to catch the interest of people, as the popularity of Hawaiian music on the mainland started to grow. By presenting his ukuleles at the 1915 Panama Pacific International Exhibition in San Francisco, Jonah Kumalae (1875 – 1940) helped to usher in the first and greatest wave of ukulele popularity. Although few reliable records are known today, many people consider Kumalae to be the most prolific maker of ukuleles in Hawaii in the time period from 1915 to 1940, when he died. Jonah Kumalae was posthumously inducted into the Ukulele Hall of Fame in 2002. |
