Hi,
A friend of mine has loaned me a banjo uke and in return I said I would try and find out a bit more about it. Ideally he'd like to get some idea of it's worth in £Sterling with a view to selling it. I may buy it off him if I find I like it and can afford it.
I cannot see any makers marks, it's a soprano scale though the finger board is narrower than I'm used to on a soprano uke. It seems pretty old though I have a feeling the skin, which has a crescent moon and stars on it is a replacement. The bridge is also a new addition to make it playable before handing over to me. (Should the bridge have bone as well or is a wooden only one standard?)
Anyway, I've got four pictures to post so please have a look.
Cheers
