Knutsen "Spanish" Convertible Hawaiian Guitar
This instrument is a nice rope-bound instrument with what looks like a "New Hawaiian Family" label visible through the soundhole. It was discovered by Darrell Urbien in the photograph from the Angelus Temple archives during his research (look for his upcoming article, and see Historical Photos for full image and story).
