Musikalia

Musikalia
Musikalia are an Italian manufacture of all kinds of strummed chordophones working out of Sicily.

Musikalia was founded in 1964 by Alfio Leone, who prior to this was a luthier, (He certainly made Mandolins before this I have seen a 1958 example, he may have made other instruments?) He is usually referred to as Dr. (or in Italian, Dott.) - I don't know why?

There are currently more than 130 different models according the the website, including the standard fair, Guitars, Mandolins, Banjos and the like, but the catalogue also encompasses other things like Cavaquinhos, Tiples, Tres's, Cuatros and of course Ukuleles, (including a Banjolele).

All of the Ukuleles only come as Soprano but there is also a Guitalele in the catalogue and a number of Venezuelan Cuatros that could easily be restrung as a Baritone
