Vintage 1930s Weissenborn Hawaiian Style 1 Teardrop Koa Lap Steel With Soft Shell Case
We are proud to present a very cool vintage piece that is sure to get attention - it's a Weissenborn Hawaiian lap steel, built in the early 1930's. These can be hard to find, and even harder to score in such excellent condition. This was recently brought to us by a local professional player and collector. It's a great example of what Weissenboard was making during this era. This is the Style 1 model, known as the "Teardrop", made out of beautiful koa.
How does it sound? Flat out amazing. It has a beautifully smooth midrange presence, warm but present top end clarity, and round but not boomy low-end. It's a great showcase for why most Hawaiian lapsteels built these days are based on it. With its all Hawaiian Koa construction, it has a pleasing presence and projection that fits into a mix perfectly. This Style 1 Teardrop embodies the tonally resonant and sought after sonic richness of these classic, all Koa Hawaiian steels.
