{"product_id":"ludwig-wendell-hall-banjo-ukulele-1928-6627","title":"Ludwig Wendell Hall Banjo Ukulele (1928)","description":"Ludwig Wendell Hall Model Banjo Ukulele, c. 1928, made in Chicago, natural walnut finish, walnut neck and resonator,metal rim, ebonized fingerboard, original black hard shell case. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the classic banjo-ukes of the 1920's, and one of the most sought-after. The Wendell Hall Professional was one of Ludwig's neater concepts, with a top-tension integral metal rim\/flange set into a walnut resonator. It also includes lots of proprietary hardware including a nifty armrest and solid tailpiece and special top-tension tuners. A very collectible piece, much sought after by Formby fans as the master himself used a Ludwig extensively in the 1930's. This is a very well-made and extremely powerful-sounding little instrument, one of the best of its kind!\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 22 1\/2 in. (57.2 cm.), 7 5\/8 in. (19.4 cm.) diameter head, and 2 3\/4 in. (7 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 14 3\/8 in. (365 mm.). Width of nut is 1 in. (25 mm.). Very nice original condition overall; there some general wear overall with a noticeable spot to the back of the neck in the first position. The only repair is a sealed-up split to the back rim of the resonatoredge, solidly glued but nor re-seated especially well and thus still visible. A very fine playing and sounding banjo-uke and like all Ludwigs one of the loudest we have heard! Includes a nice OHSC. Overall Very Good + Condition.","brand":"Ludwig","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46852999479436,"sku":"6627","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/8702\/3756\/files\/01_70acdf83-7a40-4f52-861a-2052319b2fc2.jpg?v=1774330134","url":"https:\/\/retrofret.com\/products\/ludwig-wendell-hall-banjo-ukulele-1928-6627","provider":"RetroFret","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
