Overview

Ukulele method books on the North American mainland and at the same time one of the stil, underestimated boundary figures between music pedagogy, commerce, and technical development. His self-instruction manual, published in 1914 by Sherman, Clay & Co., San Francisco, is identified in the scholarship as one of the early mainland methods alongside Kealakai and Kia. The source-critical payoff of this study, however, lies in sharpening his professional profile: Bailey was not only a music educator, method author, and studio director, but also a patented technical inventor and instrument developer. Three U.S. patents can be documented, for the Violin friction-peg, the Musical-instrument mouthpiece, and the Hanger, identifying him as a developer of concrete hardware and playing aids. The present study reconstructs Baileys biography through source criticism, situates him within the marketing and teaching programs of Sherman, Clay & Co., House of Hawaiian Hit, and links teaching pedagogy, commercial networks, copyright trails, and patents into a more precisely defined overall profile.
