I've been working myself up to sell this for about a month!
Circa 1920s or 1930s, this bright sounding banjo uke was beautifully restored by Ukulele Underground Member twotrax and came to me via UU Member jnobianco (who knows banjo ukes and put a set of Worth clears on it!).
No resonator. Pretty detailing! Walnut colored w/ contrasting back stripe down the neck.
After playing this piece of history for 2+ months, I realize that the Formby style isn't natural for me at all. And I'm nervous about breaking it.
Plus, the funds will support the Ukulele portion of the World Music Outreach project which I'm facilitating.
I'd like it to be in a home where someone can do it justice.
There is a caveat -- the 12th fret and 17th fret are heavier gauge wire than the others; at some point, a previous owner replaced them.
If you play that high up the neck routinely, you'll want to replace at some point with matching lighter gauge fret wire.
I paid $100 plus $15 shipping for it, but will need to purchase a new box and packing material to protect it to send it to its new owner, thus the extra $5.
Thanks for reading this ad, and may everyone find the right and perfect ukes for them!
