Si tu parles du Vita Roy Smeck, j'ai trouvé ça :
The 1928 Roy Smeck-endorsed "Vita" line was one of Harmony's most whimsical creations, but were also fairly high-grade instruments and a the endorsement was a major promotional coup for the company. The series encompassed a guitar, tenor guitar, plectrum guitar, mandolin and ukulele all of similar eccentric design with a distinctive body outline and seal-shaped F holes, for reasons lost to history! They all feature fancy flamed mahogany bodies with spruce tops, and the guitars had the patented Harmony Aero-Bridge, shaped vaguely like an airplane. The Vita-Uke was by far the most popular, sold well into the 1930's after the rest of the line had passed into history. The headstock decal reads "Roy Smeck" "Vita-Uke" over a small Harmony "H" in a diamond. This is still a fairly rare instrument; while the Vita-Uke proved popular not that many have survived in good playable condition. This is a very good sounding and playing instrument notwithstanding its rather eccentric design, and a very nice example.
Overall length is 21 1/2 in. (54.6 cm.), 8 in. (20.3 cm.) across at the widest point, and 2 1/4 in. (5.7 cm.) in depth at side, taken at the end block. Scale length is 14 in. (356 mm.). Width of nut is 1 7/16 in. (36 mm.). Very nice original condition with some light wear; mostly from strumming near the fingerboard. The only repair is a couple of well-sealed back cracks, with no overfinish added. This is a very good player, complete with the even rarer original heavy chipboard case.

comme il y a deux fils consacrés à ton sujet, je le doublonne ici :
Voila deja un schema à affiner; quant à la profondeur de caisse très plate, elle tournerait autour de 5 cm chez Ohana, probablement deux pouces pour arrondir, (à vérifier) et 5,7 sur les Roy Smek d'origine,
en effet si on convertit les mesures en pouce il y'a pas mal de "comptes ronds"
