Ludwig Wendell Hall Professional Model Banjo Ukulele, c. 1929, made in Chicago, natural finish, walnut neck and resonator, metal rim, original black soft shell case.
One of the classic banjo-ukes of the 1920's, and one of the most sought-after.
Overall length is 22 3/4 in. (57.8 cm.), 7 1/2 in. (19 cm.) diameter head, and 2 7/8 in. (7.3 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 14 in. (356 mm.). Width of nut is 1 3/8 in. (35 mm.). A very fine example; all original including the bridge and head tightening wrench. Even the oft-missing heelcap is intact. Some light wear to the back of the resonator, otherwise very clean. Currently fitted out with more recent 1920's style tuners; the complete set of original (and notoriously hard to keep in tune) top-tension friction pegs are included and may be easily re-installed if desired. Sounds great, an extremely loud and punchy banjo-uke! Excellent Condition.
