Bill Tapia Ukuleles

Bill Tapia Ukuleles
Bill Tapia was a famous Ukulele player who died in California in 2012 aged 103. Apparently he lived just long enough to see the prototypes of these Chinese made, but Westminster, California marketed, (always white), Concert and, (always red), Tenor Ukuleles bearing his name?

The first run of 110 Bill Tapia Ukuleles was delivered to the US in 2011 and there were a couple of subsequent deliveries; the last being in 2015. I don't know the precise number but I would think there were probably less than 1000 made. The Distributors appear to have stopped marketing them at the end of 2020.
