January 2001: The Jazzitha does not appear to be such a rarity. Since posting this inquiry in 1999 several have turned up for auction on-line. It was made by Bee Jay Products Company of Long Island City, New York and advertised as a one-string Hawaiian guitar. It measured about 20 inches in length, used a single mandolin "E" string, and came with 'play by numbers' sheet music for "The Bowery," "My Old Kentucky Home," and "The Sidewalks of New York."
