Before I place this Le Domino ukulele on the Bay, I thought it might be well to offer this hard to find Le Domino ukulele made by the J.R. Stewart Company in Chicago, Illinois to fellow UU members. The ukulele is made of wood with a black body, head and fretboard. Domino decals are on the font of the body, around the sound hole and on the frets, where they are more worn. Head is marked with the J.R. Stewart logo and "Le Domino." Tuning pegs have been replaced. It is c. 1925-1928.
This is a 4 string ukulele in the rarer size: 22 inches long with a 14 inch scale. There are two cracks on the back of approximately 7 ½ and 3 inches; and on the front are cracks of 3 inches, 3 inches and 1 ¼ inch, plus a couple of hairlines. The cracks all run with the grain and appear to be very repairable, should someone want to make it a restoration project. The neck is straight; and it must have been a good player, judging by the wear marks on the fret board. Le Domino ukuleles with the domino markings are very difficult to find in any condition.
There is one currently on the Bay listed at $175. Mine appears to be in much better condition, as the cracks are not as prominent. Other JR Stewart Domino ukuleles sold on the bay were over $200--mine will not be that high. I am looking for offers. Send me a PM and I’ll give you my phone # so we can talk. I have 1051 feedbacks on the Bay with 100% positives.
I purchased the ukulele from an estate in rural Minnesota. This neat and rare ukulele would make a great addition to any musical instrument collection!
