This is an extremely rare instrument, much more so than the company's earlier 'trap-door' style large-rim guitar banjos built prior to 1925. This one was made in 1928, one of a very few batches completed that year. The banjo is built on the standard 11\" Mastertone rim (fully equivalent to the TB-3 from the same year) still with the older-style two-piece tube-and-plate flange but now equipped with the then-new 40-hole solid archtop tone ring.

The UB-4 was introduced in 1926 and features fancy shaped pearl inlay in the bound rosewood fingerboard while the headstock has a pearl inlaid \"The Gibson\" logo. The bound-back resonator is fitted to a diamond pattern flange; all hardware is nickel plated. The Grover friction tuners are fitted with ivoroid buttons. Most Gibson banjo-ukes have no serial number-this actually has a standard Gibson FON stamped into the rim and chalked in the resonator, as was the practice at the time. In 1927 the model UB-5 was identical to this style 4 except for gold-plated hardware, and examples of both models were built in this batch. This is a great \"professional grade\" Gibson banjo-uke from the '20's-perfect for the George Formby sound and an excellent piece for any application requiring the best of banjo-ukes!\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 22 1\/2 in. (57.2 cm.), 8 in. (20.3 cm.) diameter head, and 3 1\/4 in. (8.2 cm.) in depth at side. Scale length is 13 1\/2 in. (343 mm.). Very nice original condition; all original finish and hardware except an old but not period head and bridge. Relatively clean overall-there is some play wear; there is some scuffing and dings to the resonator back, a spot of wear on the top side of the heel and the plating to the hoop and hooks shows some noticeable loss due to corrosion. A fabulous playing and sounding instrument, as loud a banjo-uke as we have ever heard! Included a modern mandolin HSC that is a functional but inexact fit. Excellent - Condition.","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46853026676876,"sku":"7492","price":2400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/8702\/3756\/files\/01_be6c94f1-c315-4665-ba6e-2d226c1eb340.jpg?v=1774331066"},{"product_id":"lange-banner-blue-banjo-ukulele-1925-6815","title":"Lange Banner Blue Banjo Ukulele (1925)","description":"Banner Blue Model Banjo Ukulele, made by Lange, c. 1925, made in New York City, natural finish, maple neck and rim. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 21 in.
